Grilled Salmon with Parsley Sauce

I can provide you with a recipe for preparing a delicious grilled salmon with parsley sauce. Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (about 150-200 grams each)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the parsley sauce:

• 1 bunch of fresh parsley
• 1 clove of garlic
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 50 ml of extra virgin olive oil
• Salt to taste

Preparation

1. First, prepare the parsley sauce. Wash the parsley and dry it thoroughly. Finely chop the garlic and parsley.
2. In a small bowl, combine the parsley, chopped garlic, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix well and season with salt. Set the sauce aside to allow the flavors to blend well.
3. Rinse the salmon fillets under running water and pat them dry with kitchen paper. Sprinkle both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Heat a grill or a griddle pan over medium-high heat. When hot, brush the surface with a little olive oil.
5. Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
6. Once cooked, transfer the salmon fillets to a serving plate and drizzle with the previously prepared parsley sauce.
7. Serve the grilled salmon warm, possibly accompanied by side dishes of your choice, such as grilled vegetables or a mixed salad.
