Mediterranean-Style Grilled Salmon (Serves 4)

By Chelsea Halprin, Candidate for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine 2017

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 salmon fillets
Black pepper
8 green olives, chopped
Balsamic vinaigrette

Directions: Prepare the grill. Lightly coat the grill rack with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the basil, parsley, minced garlic and lemon juice.  Spray the fish with cooking spray. Sprinkle with black pepper. Top each fillet with equal amounts of the basil-garlic mixture. Place the fish herb-side down on the grill. Grill over high heat. When the edges turn white, after about 3 to 4 minutes, turn the fish over and place on aluminum foil. Move the fish to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat. Grill until the fish is opaque throughout (about 4 minutes longer). Garnish with green olives. Add splash of balsamic, as desired.
