BBQ Grilled Salmon with Herb Sauce

There is nothing like a great piece of fresh salmon prepared with my artSAVORs and BBQ grilled until perfectly tender and flaky. This salmon is delicious hot from the grill, served at room temperature or even cold. When cooked correctly, salmon just melts in your mouth. I decided to get creative with my marinade by using a combination of artSAVOR 70, artSAVOR 75, chopped fresh cilantro and parsley. The dried Persian lime, “limu omani” in artSAVOR 70 and the combination of the dried and fresh herbs creates a smoky magical umami to the already umami-rich salmon. While perfect just as is, my herby green sauce made with artSAVOR 75 creates a fresh and citrusy savory essence that is the ideal compliment. You can serve this salmon with any side as entrée. On Father’s Day this year, it played a starring role along side grilled ribeye on my buffet menu.
