How to Make Grilled Salmon With Chive And Dill Sauce And Cucumbers

  1. Preheat grill to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly coat a fish basket with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. **Prepare the sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. **Prepare the salmon:** Place salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) in the prepared fish basket, skin-side down.
  5. Place the basket on the preheated grill, cover, and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Flip the basket carefully, cover, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Squeeze fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 teaspoon per fillet) over each cooked salmon fillet.
  8. **Prepare the cucumber:** Thinly slice 1 medium cucumber.
  9. **Assemble the dish:** Place each salmon fillet on a serving plate. Arrange cucumber slices around the salmon, and generously spoon the chive and dill sauce over the top.
