Salmon alla Griglia: Italian Grilled Salmon
This simple cast-iron "grilled" salmon is a quick and delicious dinner option. Ready in under 30 minutes, it's easy to make even in the most limited of kitchens.
Ingredients
- 300 g (10 ½ oz) salmon fillets
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
- 2 tsp capers drained, rinsed & roughly chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic grated or finely minced
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Set a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat there for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Once the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp of neutral oil, swirl and allow to heat for 1 minute. Add the salmon, skin side down, and cook until the skin is browned, crisp and releases easily - about 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook until the internal temperature registers at 50°C/125°F - another 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes.
- While the fish is resting, combine the olive oil, parsley, capers, lemon zest and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle over the fish and serve alongside some lemon wedges.
