Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce (Printer-Friendly Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Salmon

01 - 1½ pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 lemon (zest and juice)
04 - 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
05 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ For the Creamy Dill Sauce

06 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
07 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
08 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest
10 - 1 garlic clove, minced
11 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Let's Cook!:

01 - In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade. This will infuse the salmon with a citrusy, savory taste.
02 - Add the salmon cubes to the marinade bowl. Gently toss the salmon to ensure each cube is coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the salmon.
03 - After marinating, remove the salmon cubes from the refrigerator. Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto skewers, making sure they are evenly spaced for even cooking.
04 - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, place the salmon skewers on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the salmon is opaque and has a slight char. This will give the salmon a lovely smoky flavor.
05 - While the salmon is grilling, in a separate small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until the ingredients are well mixed to form a creamy dill yogurt sauce.
06 - Once the salmon skewers are cooked, remove them from the grill. Serve with a generous drizzle of the creamy dill yogurt sauce over the top, or offer it on the side as a dipping sauce. Enjoy your flavorful and refreshing salmon skewers!

# Recipe Notes:

01 - Keep leftover salmon skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days
02 - Store yogurt dill sauce separately in the fridge for up to 5 days - it gets even better the next day!
03 - Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using
04 - Leftover salmon can be enjoyed cold in a salad or gently warmed in the microwave for 30-45 seconds
