Step

  • 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook cauliflower until tender, 2–4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cauliflower to a bowl of ice water. Repeat with bell peppers.

  • 2

    Drain vegetables and transfer to a bowl with raisins, pepperoncini, and onions. Heat oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Cook until fragrant.

  • 3

    Add vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, bay leaves and bring to a boil. Cook until sugar is dissolved, 1-2 minutes. Stir in oregano, thyme and pour mixture over vegetables. Toss to combine. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and chill in fridge.

  • 4

    When ready to cook, set temperature to 375℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

  • 5

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic, parsley, dill and lemon juice. Brush mixture all over the salmon and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

  • 6

    Place salmon directly on grill grate and roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 145℉ and meat easily flakes. Remove from grill.

  • 7

    Serve immediately with pickled cauliflower salad. Enjoy!
