1. Make the chermoula: Put the garlic into a
mini chopper. Pulse to finely chop. Add the
paprika, ½ teaspoon of the salt, pepper,
coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes and
lemon peel. Pulse until a paste forms.
Transfer mixture to a small bowl. Add the
cilantro, parsley, lemon juice and vinegar.
Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Add the olives.
Put the salmon in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish;
add ½ cup of the marinade to cover the fish.
Cover with plastic wrap; marinate 1 to 2
hours. Bring to room temperature
before grilling.
2. Twenty minutes before cooking the salmon,
slice the potatoes into ¼-inch slices. Put
the potato slices in a large bowl with
the reserved tablespoon of olive oil and
remaining salt. Toss to evenly coat.
3. Turn on the Cuisinart® Griddler®. Select
Smoke-less mode and set both plates to
Fish.
4. Once preheated, distribute the potatoes
between the upper and lower grill plates of
the Griddler® in an even layer. Set the timer
for 16 minutes and cook potatoes, flipping
halfway through, until potatoes are browned
and crispy and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a large
serving plate and loosely cover with foil.
5. Put the salmon on the bottom plate of the
Griddler®. Set the count-up timer and cook
for about 8 to 9 minutes on the first side.
Flip salmon and cook the second side of the
salmon for about 6 minutes, until desired
doneness.
6. When salmon is cooked, transfer to
a serving plate and drizzle with 2 to 3
tablespoons of the remaining chermoula.
Serve salmon with the reserved potatoes.
