- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- ½ teaspoon Granulated Garlic, or ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Parsley Flakes
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Mustard
- 2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Lemon, sliced into wedges
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- ¾ Cup Dill Pickles, finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped

Instructions
- Heat the grill to a high temperature, around 450°F-550°F.
- Clean the cooking grates, rub them with an oiled paper towel, and close the lid.
- Combine the seasoning ingredients and generously coat the flesh side of the salmon fillets with oil and the seasoning mix.
- Place the salmon skin side down on the grill over direct high heat, with the lid closed, for about 6-8 minutes.
- Carefully flip the salmon, close the lid, and continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F, approximately 2-5 minutes.

Notes
For the seasoning, feel free to adjust the amounts to suit your taste.
Make sure the grill is hot enough to achieve a good sear on the salmon.
Resting the salmon after grilling enhances the flavor and texture.
