Gremolata is a condiment typically made of lemon, garlic and parsley. It is a great addition to cut through the richness of a dish, so works well with salmon. Crumbing and flash-roasting it is a quick, easy and impressive way to serve salmon.

Directions
- Heat the oven grill. Line a baking or oven tray with baking paper.
- Mix parsley, capers, lemon zest, garlic, breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese together.
