Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with black pepper and salt.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

    Finish the Polenta

    Remove from heat and stir in butter and Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mediterranean Tomato Olive Salsa

    In a bowl, mix diced tomatoes, chopped olives, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt to taste. Set aside.

  6. 6

    Serve
