Instructions

To Make the Chimichurri Rojo

In a food processor add Fresno chili, garlic, cilantro, roasted pepper, paprikas, lemon juice, Tuttorosso Petite Diced Tomatoes and salt. Pulse a few times then on low stream add the olive oil. Process to desired consistency. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.

To Make the Salmon

Season salmon fillets with olive oil and a heavy pinch of salt. Thoroughly coat both sides.
Preheat the grill to 500°F. (Note: Oil the grates prior to preheating, if putting the salmon directly on the grates, or oil a grill pan after the grill has preheated.)
Place the salmon on the grill skin side down. Depending on how large your fillets are, grill for 6-9 minutes with the lid closed. Flip and grill for another 6-9 minutes or until desired doneness.
