Grilled Salmon with Nectarine Salsa
4 servings
25 minutes
Grilled salmon with nectarine salsa is a true embodiment of freshness and elegance in European cuisine. The harmony of tender salmon with fragrant fruit salsa creates a unique gastronomic delight. The idea of pairing fish with fruits comes from Mediterranean traditions, where sweet-sour accents highlight the depth of flavor. Juicy salmon fillet infused with spices and crispy coriander gets a light caramelization on the grill, revealing its natural oiliness. The sweet-spicy nectarine salsa with lime and ginger adds a refreshing contrast. This dish is perfect for summer outdoor dinners or as an exquisite accent on a festive table. Serve with light white wine or spicy herbal infusions for maximum flavor enhancement.
