Treat your ingredients with care...

• Salmon — Ensure the salmon fillets are fresh and of high quality. This will enhance the flavor and texture of the dish.
• Caraway seeds — Toasting the caraway seeds before using them will intensify their aroma and flavor.
• Paprika — Opt for sweet paprika to add a mild and slightly sweet taste to the marinade.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smokier flavor, you can use a charcoal grill instead of a gas grill.
• If you prefer a spicier taste, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
• Serve the grilled salmon strips with a side of fresh lemon wedges for a tangy twist.
• To prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grates before placing the strips on them.
• For an extra touch of freshness, sprinkle some lemon zest over the grilled salmon before serving.

Serving advice

Serve the Slovak-style Grilled Salmon Strips as a main course alongside a side of roasted potatoes and a crisp green salad. The flavors of the salmon will pair perfectly with the earthy potatoes and the freshness of the salad.

Presentation advice

Arrange the grilled salmon strips on a platter, garnished with fresh dill sprigs. The vibrant orange color of the salmon, combined with the green dill, will create an appealing visual contrast. Serve with a lemon wedge on the side for an added pop of color.
