How to Make Award Winning Salmon With Garlic And Sun Dried Tomatoes

  1. Mince 4 cloves of garlic and combine with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Grind together to form a paste using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic paste, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (drained), and 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Stir well to thoroughly blend all ingredients.
  4. Cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to use (at least 30 minutes).
  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  6. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut two lengthwise slits into the salmon fillet, dividing the surface into thirds. Cut only to the skin; do not cut through it.
  7. Spread half of the chilled garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillet, pressing some into the slits.
  8. Place the salmon skin-side down on the preheated grill.
  9. Close the grill lid and cook for 15 minutes.
  10. Spread the remaining garlic mixture over the fillet.
  11. Close the lid, increase the grill temperature to high, and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  12. Remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately.
