This vibrant grilled wild salmon dish is an excellent example of how fresh, seasonal ingredients can create depth of flavour without the need for heavy sauces. The base of the dish is a punchy, homemade pesto crafted from garlic scapes and nutrient-dense kale, providing a savoury contrast to the rich, oily fish. Wild salmon is prized for its firm texture and high omega-3 content, making it a delicious choice for a wholesome summer dinner when cooked over an open flame.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on healthy fats and lean protein while incorporating plenty of fibre through the grilled yellow squash. It is a wonderful option for outdoor entertaining or a quick mid-week meal that feels truly special. For a complete lunch or dinner, serve these fillets alongside a crisp green salad or a helping of protein-rich quinoa to keep energy levels balanced throughout the evening.

Ingredients for Grilled Wild Salmon with Garlic Scape Pesto and Summer Squash
Coconut oil, for the grill
2 cups garlic scapes
2 cups packed kale leaves
1/2 cup olive oil
120ml grated Parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

450g yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
How to make Grilled Wild Salmon with Garlic Scape Pesto and Summer Squash
Oil a grill with coconut oil and preheat the grill over high heat.
Put the garlic scapes, kale, olive oil, cheese, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and process until finely chopped. Divide the pesto in half and reserve one- half for another use.
Place the salmon on the grill, flesh side down, and grill 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon, and place the squash slices on the grill. Brush the pesto over the salmon and the squash.
Grill the squash, turning it occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Grill the salmon 4 to 5 minutes until the skin crisps but the centre is still medium. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
