Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Juice of 2 lemons or limes
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- 2 large shallots, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped
- 4 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1 14-ounce can hearts of palm, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
Instructions:
- Heat up a grill over medium high heat. Mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice from 1 lemon, minced garlic, chopped shallots, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, and half of the chopped cilantro in a large bowl. Add the salmon and coat it with the mixture. Allow it to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature. In the meantime, combine the hearts of palm and tomatoes in a separate bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice from the second lemon, and the rest of the cilantro. Season with salt. Grease the grill with vegetable oil. Grill the salmon with the rounded side facing down until grill marks appear on the bottom, which should take around 4 minutes. Flip the salmon and continue grilling until marked on the other side and cooked through, for about 2 to 3 more minutes. Plate the salmon and serve it with the mixed greens and hearts of palm salad. Drizzle the salad juices over the greens before serving.
