Prepare Marinade: In a zip lock bag or a bowl, combine the dry white wine, soy sauce, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. This flavorful concoction forms the essence of our marinade, infusing the salmon with a symphony of tastes.
-
-
Marinate Salmon: Add the salmon steaks to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, allowing the salmon to marinate in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to 1 hour. To intensify the flavors, turn the salmon every 15 to 20 minutes, ensuring each side is bathed in the marinade’s goodness.
-
Grill Salmon: Once marinated, remove the salmon from the bag or bowl, discarding any excess marinade. Fire up your grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon steaks on the grill, cooking until they are thoroughly cooked through, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork. As the salmon cooks, baste it with the reserved marinade, imbuing it with an extra layer of succulence and flavor.
-
Serve with Pico de Gallo: As the salmon sizzles away on the grill, prepare your Pico de Gallo. Whether it’s your own cherished recipe or one you’ve discovered, the vibrant medley of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice adds a refreshing contrast to the richness of the salmon. Once the salmon is cooked to perfection, generously spoon the Pico de Gallo over the top, adding a final flourish of freshness to this sensational dish.
