Mediterranean Grilled Salmon with AEVO Oil

This Mediterranean-inspired grilled salmon recipe is infused with the goodness of AEVO Organic Avocado Oil, delivering rich flavor and healthy nutrients.

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless, about 6 oz each)
• 2 tbsp AEVO Organic Avocado Oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp ground paprika
• ½ tsp sea salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Cooking Method

1. Prepare the Marinade
   • In a small bowl, whisk together AEVO Avocado Oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
2. Marinate the Salmon
   • Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated.
   • Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Preheat the Grill
   • Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates with AEVO Avocado Oil to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Salmon
   • Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Sauté the Vegetables
   • While the salmon grills, heat 1 tsp of AEVO Avocado Oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
6. Serve
   • Plate the grilled salmon and top with the sautéed tomatoes and olives. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with a side of quinoa, couscous, or fresh greens.
