Dill Salmon + Detox Infused Water

Grilled dill salmon is one of the simplest and most flavorful fish dishes, and this is actually my father in law’s recipe – so thanks big Rick! The salmon is packed with fresh and dry dill, and it is drizzled with lots and lots of zesty squeezed lemon juice… and a hint of butter – a little butter doesn’t hurt, right? {substitute with olive oil if you are trying to be uber healthy} / Serve it up with a side of steamed or sauteed veggies, and you have created the perfect light and healthy dinner. I made a big batch of lemon and cucumber detox water to go along with it. The pitcher lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days, and it has been proven that an 8 oz glass of water infused with lemons revs up the metabolism and helps flush out toxins.

Dill Salmon – serves 2

Ingredients:

2 skinless 6oz-8oz fresh salmon filets (I buy Atlantic from Central Market and ask the butcher to skin them and filet them)
2 tablespoons of butter or two tablespoons of olive oil
Lawry’s Steak Seasoning
Dry Dill
Fresh Dill
4 large lemons
aluminum foil

Directions:

place salmon filets in aluminum foil boats inside of a glass baking dish
preheat broiler to 500 if cooking inside / if cooking on the grill then get your fire to 350ish
pop your butter into the microwave for 10 seconds

on a small cutting board chop up your fresh dill and the lemons

sprinkle Lawry’s Steak Seasoning over the salmon filets and add a few dashes of the dry dill (I like McCormick’s)
then pour the melted butter evenly over the filets (skip this and add olive oil if going that route)
then squeeze 2 full lemons over the filets and top with fresh dill and it should look like the below…

place the foil boats directly over the fire on your grill for about 20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork
OR cook in the broiler in your oven proof baking dish for 10 minutes
pour more lemon juice and serve with lemon slices when the fish is finished cooking
