Salmon or Oily Fish

Pairing: Salmon or Oily Fish

Recipe

Ingredients

  • Salmon (or other oily fish): Rich and fatty, salmon serves as the base, providing a full-bodied texture.
  • Lemon: Adds bright acidity that balances the natural oils in the fish.
  • Fresh Herbs (like dill or parsley): Brings a refreshing herbal contrast to the richness of the fish.
  • Butter or Olive Oil: Enhances the fish’s flavor and adds depth, especially when roasting or grilling.
  • Garlic: Adds aromatic depth, ideal for various cooking methods.
  • White Wine (for sauce or marinade): Offers complexity and enhances the overall flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the salmon: Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and freshly chopped herbs like dill or parsley. Squeeze lemon juice over the top.
  2. Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates with olive oil. Place the salmon skin-side down and grill for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is opaque in the center.
  3. Serve: Garnish with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a light salad.
