Description

Salmoriglio on SwordfishSalmoriglio is a classic Sicilian sauce for grilled fish and meats. It showcases flavors typical of Sicily and Greece (2500 years ago, Sicily was a major part of Magna Graeca). 

This is great with strong flavors like grilled beef and oily fish like swordfish (shown here). In the fridge, it solidifies to a spreadable consistency, but then it melts into seasoned olive oil when spread on hot food.

4 Servings
Preparation time
5 minutes

1 t Sea Salt
1⁄2 t Oregano, Dried (or 1/2 Tablespoon (1.5 tsp) fresh)
2 T Lemon, juice of
7 T Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 clv Garlic (crushed)
1⁄4 c Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Instructions

Dissolve the salt into the lemon juice, then combine everything, shake vigorously to emulsify, and let sit long enough for the flavors to come together.

For swordfish, use half for a marinade and half for a sauce.

Notes

In some recipes, this is reduced before serving with fish. You can replace the parsley with other herbs if you are serving meat.
