Grilled Salmon with Spicy Remoulade

Jump to Recipe

Grilled Salmon with Spicy Remoulade is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. This recipe combines ingredients that complement each other perfectly, resulting in a satisfying and flavorful experience. 

The salmon is marinated in olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano. The olive oil adds a rich, smooth texture to the salmon, while the oregano brings a fresh note to the recipe. The salt and pepper enhance the fish's flavors, making it a savory delight once grilled. 

The spicy remoulade is a creamy, tangy, slightly spicy sauce that pairs wonderfully with the grilled salmon. The remoulade is made with mayonnaise and spicy brown mustard, which offers a rich and tangy base. Minced garlic and a splash of lemon juice are added, while hot sauce, paprika and chili powder bring a kick of heat and smokiness. The minced baby dill pickle provides a delightful crunch and a touch of acidity, balancing the sauce's richness. 

The grilled salmon, which has a slight char, is paired with fresh vegetables. Slices of beefsteak tomato add juiciness and sweetness, while red onion slices bring a mild sharpness and crunch to the dish.  

The sandwich is prepared on lightly grilled deli rolls or a French baguette, adding a warm, toasty element that pairs nicely with the crisp vegetables and tender salmon. The final touch is a generous spread of the spicy remoulade, tying all the flavors with its creamy, tangy spiciness.  

Grilled Salmon with Spicy Remoulade combines fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Perfect for a casual dinner or a special occasion.
