4 teaspoons olive oil
4 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon drained capers
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Place each salmon fillet on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Combine the remaining ingredients; spoon over salmon. Fold foil around fish and seal tightly.
Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.
