preparation

Prepare the tapenade

Finely chop the olives, capers, and garlic. Grate the lemon zest and stir it in along with the olive oil. The tapenade should remain chunky and not be pureed. Set aside.

Prepare the salmon cutlets

Prepare the grill

Prepare the grill for medium to high direct heat. Thoroughly clean the grill grate and lightly oil it.

Grill salmon cutlets

Salmon cutlets directly over the heat, per side3–4 minutesGrill until distinct grill marks appear. The fish should be charred on the outside and remain juicy on the inside.

Flavor with Pastis

Remove the salmon cutlets from the grill and immediately drizzle with Pastis. Let them rest briefly so the aroma combines with the hot fish.

Serve

Serve the salmon cutlets with the black olive tapenade or serve it separately.

To Caprice:

Caprice adds more volume and texture and harmonizes particularly well with the intense olive tapenade. The balance of freshness, fruit, and substance perfectly complements the robust structure of the salmon cutlets.
