Prepare the ingredients: 4 salmon fillets, olive oil, dried dill weed, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and a lemon.

Make the lemon dill seasoning by combining 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of dried dill, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, 2 teaspoons of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder, and the zest of 1 lemon in a bowl. Mix with a spoon until combined.

Cut the lemon in half after zesting it and set it aside for squeezing on the salmon later.

Spoon the lemon dill seasoning onto each salmon fillet and massage it into the fish with your fingers.

Preheat the grill to about 400 degrees Fahrenheit, using a two-zone cooking method with one side cold and the other hot.

Place the salmon fillets on the cold side of the grill, close the lid, and let them cook for 8 minutes to slowly raise the temperature.

After 8 minutes, move the salmon to the hot side of the grill to crisp up the skin and render the fat, cooking for a few more minutes.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon while it cooks, and monitor the internal temperature with a thermometer.

Remove the salmon from the grill when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, being careful as it will be flaky.
