Grilled Lemon Dill Salmon

I don't know about you, but I just don't have the time. Literally. To do the things I do. Like cook at home or heat up an oven. That's why my new best friend is made of stainless steel and sits happily on my brick patio. His name is Weber Genesis, and he's super cute. I spend all of my time with him outside, because he heats up super fast and grills my food perfectly with almost no help from me. I think my husband is jealous of my relationship with our new grill.

One of my favorite things to cook on the grill is a giant filet of salmon dotted with butter, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and surrounded with fresh dill and lemon. As delicious as it sounds, it tastes and smells even better. The salmon never actually touches the grill because it's nestled in a foil pouch and laid on top of a bed of dill and lemon. This keep the presentation clean while still imparting the salmon with all of that "grilling goodness" (that is a technical term. Look it up).

So, if you find yourself way too busy to, I don't know, do much at all, consider this salmon for your next date with the grill. 4 ingredients nestled together in perfect unfussy harmony.
