Instructions
-
Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to a temperature of 400°F (200°C) to ensure that the salmon cooks evenly and gets that perfect char.
-
-
Prepare the Fish Basket: Take a fish basket and coat it lightly with non-stick spray to prevent the salmon from sticking during grilling.
-
Make the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, fresh chives, fresh dill, salt, and white pepper. Stir these ingredients well until they are thoroughly mixed, creating a creamy and aromatic sauce.
-
Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared fish basket. Position the basket on the grill with the flesh side down. Cover the grill and allow the salmon to cook for about 2 minutes.
-
Flip and Finish Cooking: After 2 minutes, carefully turn the fish basket over, cover the grill again, and let the salmon cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the center of the fish appears opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Add Lemon Juice: Once cooked, squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice over each salmon fillet to enhance the flavors with a zesty kick.
-
Prepare the Garnish: Thinly slice the English cucumber to create refreshing, crisp garnishes for your dish.
-
Assemble the Dish: To serve, place each grilled salmon fillet on a serving dish, arrange the cucumber slices around the fillets, and generously top each piece with the chive and dill sauce you prepared earlier.
Enjoy this delightful Grilled Salmon dish, showcasing fresh flavors and vibrant colors, ideal for any spring or summer occasion!
