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.

This artichoke gremolata would be the perfect topping to any meat or fish meal, but on top of our sockeye salmon primavera? There is no comparison.
