Savor the Flavor: Grilled Salmon with Zesty Lemon and Dill Sauce

Step 1

Prepare your outdoor grill by heating it to high temperature and giving the grate a light coating of oil.

Step 2

Grill the salmon along with thick slices of lemon on the hot grill until the salmon easily flakes apart when tested with a fork, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and cornstarch, whisking until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add butter to the mixture and heat it over medium heat. Keep stirring the sauce until it comes to a boil and thickens, which usually takes around 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Once the sauce has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the quartered lemon slices, fresh dill, a pinch of salt, chervil, and a hint of cayenne pepper to enhance the flavors.

Step 5

To serve, accompany the grilled salmon with the lemon-infused sauce and the grilled lemon slices for an extra burst of citrusy goodness.
