Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned, drained and chopped)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon capers (drained)
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade on both sides and let them sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the salsa.
For the artichoke salsa, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, quartered cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, capers, red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the marinated salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the grilled salmon to serving plates and generously spoon the artichoke salsa over the top.
Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete, healthy meal.
