Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |

| Salmon fillet | 1 pound |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Lemon juice | 2 tablespoons |

Cooking Instructions:
- Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Step 2: Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Make sure the salmon is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
- Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Step 4: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the salmon even more tender and flavorful.
- Step 5: Serve the grilled salmon hot with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
