This grilled salmon is delightfully and deliciously accentuated by a summery topping of Lemon Dill Marinated Garlic, cucumbers, and scallions. The perfect solution for hot evening meals (that also make for excellent leftovers).
Serves 4
Ingredients:
Topping:
2/3 cup cucumber, chopped
1/4 cup fresh scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon capers, drained
4 each Gil’s Lemon Dill Garlic, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 tablespoon Gil’s California Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Gil’s Lemon Dill Garlic juice
Grilled Salmon:
2 tablespoons Gil’s California Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Gil’s Lemon Dill Garlic juice
2 tablespoons honey
4 salmon filets
Pinch of San Fran Sea Salt and black pepper
Instructions
To make the topping, place cucumber, scallions, capers, garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, and garlic juice in a medium bowl, stir to combine, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To make the salmon, place olive oil, garlic juice, and honey in a small bowl, whisk to combine the marinade. Place the salmon filets in a shallow baking dish and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat or prep charcoals for a charcoal grill. Once the grill is hot and the salmon has marinated, place the salmon on the grill (letting any excess marinade drip off the salmon before placing it on the grill) and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
To serve, place grilled salmon on a platter and spoon topping over the salmon.
