Salmon Skewers with Fresh Herbs

May 9, 2016

Best grilled salmon I’ve ever had – hands down – comes curtesy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s “It’s All Easy.”  This is her version of salmon with chermoula, a Moroccan herb sauce traditionally served with grilled fish. She uses half of the fresh herb mixture as a marinade for the fish and the other half to make a divine yogurt sauce.
