Ingredients
-
3 Sizzlefish King Salmon Fillets
1 cup Fresh Parsley Leaves, roughly chopped
1/3 cup Green Pimento Olives, roughly chopped
¼ cup Finely Diced Red Onion
Juice of ½ Lemon
Kosher Salt, to taste
Freshly Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Olive Oil
Lemon Wedges, for garnish
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, green olives, diced red onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside while you prepare the salmon.
Coat the salmon fillets with olive oil. Next, season them with salt and pepper.
Place the grill pan on the stove and heat to medium heat.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill pan skin side down. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes.
When the skin becomes golden brown and the fillets release easily from the grill pan, gently flip the fillets and cook for an additional 5 minutes. The flesh side should be golden and the internal temperature of the fillets need to reach 145 degrees F.
Once cooked, remove the fillets to the platter and evenly distribute the parsley olive salad on top of the grilled fillets. Garnish with lemon wedges.
