What is Primavera Sauce? Oven Roasted Sockeye Salmon Primavera with Artichoke Gremolata

Primavera is a classic Italian-inspired sauce known for its fresh, simple ingredients. It’s typically made by blending broth, cream, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper for a creamy, herb-forward flavor. If you prefer something lighter, you can skip the sauce altogether and simply toss your veggies with Parmesan, basil, salt, and pepper — it’s delicious either way!

The best part? Primavera pairs perfectly with Sockeye Salmon. The bold, rich flavor of the salmon complements the brightness of the tomatoes, herbs, and spices like thyme, basil, and parsley. This combination creates a dish that feels fresh, comforting, and endlessly versatile.


What is Gremolata?

Gremolata is a simple yet vibrant green sauce traditionally made with parsley, garlic, and lemon zest. It’s used as a garnish or dressing that adds a burst of brightness to any dish — especially fish.

Our Artichoke Gremolata adds a fun twist to the classic recipe. The slightly nutty and earthy flavor of the artichokes enhances the natural richness of wild Sockeye Salmon, creating an unbeatable flavor pairing. While this gremolata tastes incredible on any meat or seafood, it truly shines when served over our Salmon Primavera.
