Grilled Salmon with Basil Aïoli

This elegant grilled salmon with basil aïoli is a wonderful choice for a light, nutritious meal. Combining fresh, omega-3 rich fish with a vibrant, herb-infused garlic mayonnaise, it offers a sophisticated balance of flavours. The aïoli is deepened with a hint of anchovy and lemon, providing a savoury contrast to the charred, tender salmon. It is a colourful dish that celebrates fresh produce and simple cooking techniques.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises lean protein and healthy fats without sacrificing taste. Serving the salmon alongside seasonal blistered baby courgettes and grilled tomatoes adds plenty of fibre and vitamins to your plate. It is a versatile dish that works just as well for a quick midweek dinner as it does for a relaxed weekend lunch with friends.
