Keywords: Vegetable, < 15 Mins, Beginner Cook, Easy
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon garlic oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheese (your choice, preferably something that melts well like cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Instructions:
-
Season and Grill: Begin by seasoning the salmon fillets with your favorite spices or a simple salt and pepper mix. Preheat your grill or George Foreman grill. Lightly brush the grill with a bit of garlic oil to prevent sticking. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the grill and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is just opaque in the center. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets and the heat of your grill.
-
Prepare the Cheese Sauce: While the salmon is grilling, prepare the cheese sauce. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded cheese with the water. Heat in the microwave on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water until you reach the desired consistency.
-
Assemble the Dish: Once the salmon is grilled to perfection, transfer the fillets to a serving plate. Generously spoon the melted cheese sauce over each piece of salmon. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and freshly chopped dill.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness paired with the freshness of the tomatoes and dill. This dish is perfect with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad.
