Gremolata is a green sauce that is typically used as a dressing or garnish. It is usually made up of chopped parsley, garlic, and lemon zest, and accompanies fish particularly well. This is where our favorite salmon comes in. Our gremolata recipe uses artichokes as well, making the perfect addition to our wild sockeye salmon. The slightly nutty and bitter flavor of artichokes compliments the bold flavor profile that our sockeye salmon has.
