Cuban-Style Grilled Salmon topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (170 g) from the center of the fish, skinless
- 1 can (400g) palm hearts, cut into 2.5cm pieces
- 0.5 l cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons or limes
- 2 large cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 large shallots, chopped
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, coarsely chopped
- Vegetable oil for greasing
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, garlic, shallot, cumin, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and half the cilantro. Add the salmon and turn the pieces over to coat them completely with the marinade. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss the hearts of palm and tomatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of the remaining lemon, and the remaining cilantro. Season with salt.
- Brush the grill with vegetable oil. Grill the salmon, round-side down, until the bottom is charred, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue grilling until the other side is charred and cooked through, another 2-3 minutes.
Arrange the fish on plates. Serve with greens and hearts of palm salad. Drizzle the salad dressing over the greens.
