Start by preparing blackening seasoning with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and dill.

Place the salmon fillets on the grill and let them cook for about five minutes without flipping.

Check the salmon after five minutes; if it sticks, ease a spatula under it to prevent tearing.

Close the grill and cook for an additional three minutes to achieve desired doneness.

After three to four minutes, check the salmon again to see if it is cooked through.

Cut a slit in the thickest part of the salmon to check for doneness; if juices are running, it may need more time.

If unsure, cut one piece of salmon in half to check texture throughout.

If the salmon is still too tender, close the grill and cook for another five minutes.

Once done, carefully use a spatula to remove the salmon from the grill, ensuring it maintains its presentation.
