Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon steaks
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams Olives (Kalamata recommended)
- 1 small Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, zest and juice of the lemon, minced garlic, finely chopped oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Place the salmon steaks on a tray and brush each side with the marinade. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the salmon marinates, prepare a Mediterranean salsa. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves, slice the olives, and finely chop the red onion.
Mix the tomatoes, olives, and onion in a bowl, and season with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Set aside.
Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon steaks onto the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, until the salmon is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled salmon steaks topped with the Mediterranean salsa, and garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
