Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned, drained and chopped)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (quartered)
• 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon capers (drained)
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade on both sides and let them sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the salsa.

Step 4

For the artichoke salsa, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, quartered cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, capers, red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Place the marinated salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled salmon to serving plates and generously spoon the artichoke salsa over the top.

Step 7

Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete, healthy meal.
