Unity cannot serialize dictionaries by default. Make a struct/class that contains a key and a value, and expose a list of those objects. Then populate your dictionary from that list in Awake() or Start():

[Serializable]
public class KeyValuePair {
  public MyKeyType key;
  public MyValueType val;
}

public List<KeyValuePair> MyList = new List<KeyValuePair>();
Dictionary<MyKeyType, MyValueType> myDict = new Dictionary<MyKeyType, MyValueType>();

void Awake() {
  foreach (var kvp in MyList) {
    myDict[kvp.key] = kvp.val;
  }
}
