Creamy Lemon Dill Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (the creamy base)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for extra richness)
- Zest of 1 lemon (zesty goodness!)
- Juice of 1 lemon (freshly squeezed, just like summer)

Directions:
1. Fire it Up! Preheat that grill to medium-high heat, and let the sizzling begin!
2. Season: Give the salmon fillets a flavourful rub with salt, smoked paprika, and pepper—or jazz it up with your favourite BBQ seasoning and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Grill Magic! Carefully place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they reach flaky perfection that melts in your mouth.
4. Whip Up the Sauce! While your salmon grills to perfection, mix up your creamy lemon dill sauce in a bowl. Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Chill it in the fridge while the salmon cooks!
5. Rest & Reflect: Once your salmon is beautifully grilled, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes—patience rewarded!
6. Serve it! Plate your grilled salmon and generously dollop that luscious creamy lemon dill sauce right on top. Voilà! Your *Grill Thrill* masterpiece is ready to dazzle!
Let’s get grilling!
