If you’re looking to elevate your next seafood meal with a burst of Mediterranean flavor, Grilled Salmon in Grape Leaves with Tomato-Raisin Relish is the perfect recipe to try. Wrapping tender salmon fillets in grape leaves locks in moisture while adding a subtle tang that pairs beautifully with the smoky char from the grill.

The sweet and savory tomato-raisin relish adds a gourmet touch, bringing balance and complexity to every bite. Whether you’re preparing a light summer dinner or impressing guests at a weekend cookout, this dish delivers both nutrition and elegance in one healthy, flavorful package.

Ingredients:

4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets about 1 inch thick
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
12 large grape leaves (packed in brine) drained, rinsed, and patted dry with paper towels
olive oil

Instructions:

1. Sprinkle salmon fillets evenly with salt and pepper; set aside

2. Snip off any protruding stems from grape leaves. Place 2 or 3 overlapping grape leaves on work surface. Place one salmon fillet, skin-side down, in center of leaves. Fold grape leaves up and over salmon, patting down gently to seal as much as possible. Brush leaves with olive oil to help seal edges. Repeat with remaining salmon and grape leaves.

3. Grill packets, covered with grill lid, over medium heat (300° to 350°) 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. (Grape leaves will be lightly charred.) Serve immediately with Tomato-Raisin Relish.
