Grilled Salmon and Chimichurri Sauce

Salmon with chimichurri

Originating from Argentina and Uruguay, there are a surprising number of stories that claim to be the real way chimichurri was invented. From an Irishman in Argentina craving Worcestershire sauce to varied pronunciations of “give me the curry”, to a “Basque-style herb sauce” and the Quechua term for a strong meat or fish sauce, the possibilities of chimichurri’s origin stories are endless.

Regardless of its official origin, there’s one thing for sure; chimichurri is an incredible addition to any salmon meal. This sauce blends incredible spices like cilantro, cumin, cloves, red onion, chili flakes into what is arguably one of the most flavorful ways to enjoy salmon. 

Our very own Chef Nicole has created her own specific version of chimichurri with lemon and cumin that makes this sauce a particularly delicious addition to our wild Alaskan salmon portions or fillets.
