Time 15m

Yield Makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 small fennel bulb, cored and finely diced (about 1 cup)
10 large brine-cured green olives, such as Castelvetrano or Cerignola, pitted and chopped (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 dried chile de arbol, stemmed and crumbled
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Combine first seven ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt.

Tips:

  • Brining the salmon: Brining the salmon helps to add moisture and flavor to the fish. Be sure to use a large enough container to accommodate the salmon and the brine solution. You can also add other ingredients to the brine, such as herbs, spices, or citrus zest, to further enhance the flavor of the salmon.
  • Grilling the salmon: When grilling the salmon, be sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky. You can also use a grill pan if you don't have a grill.
  • Making the fennel-cucumber relish: The fennel-cucumber relish is a great way to add a refreshing and crunchy element to the grilled salmon. Be sure to use a sharp knife to thinly slice the fennel and cucumber. You can also add other ingredients to the relish, such as red onion, celery, or capers.
  • Serving the grilled salmon: The grilled salmon can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled potatoes, or a fresh salad. You can also drizzle the salmon with a lemon-herb sauce or tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

This grilled brined salmon with eggplant and fennel-cucumber relish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The salmon is moist and flaky, the eggplant is smoky and tender, and the relish is refreshing and crunchy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
