Grilled Salmon Steaks

These grilled salmon steaks offer a sophisticated yet simple meal that celebrates the natural richness of fresh fish. By grilling the salmon under a high heat, you achieve a beautiful charred exterior while keeping the centre tender and moist. The addition of a vibrant roasted poblano and caper salsa provides a sophisticated flavour profile, cutting through the oils of the fish with a hit of smoke and acidity.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, making it as nutritious as it is delicious. It is a fantastic option for a quick midweek dinner or a light weekend lunch. Serve it with a crisp green salad or steamed seasonal vegetables for a complete, balanced meal that feels truly indulgent.
