Psari Sta Karvouna, or grilled fish, is a popular and healthy seafood dish in Greece. It is usually prepared using a whole fresh fish, such as salmon, and flavored with simple herbs and spices. Grilling the fish gives it a smoky flavor and crispy skin, which complements the tender and juicy flesh. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a Greek salad, and makes for a delicious and nutritious dinner.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2.	Rinse the salmon under cold water, then pat it dry with paper towels and set aside.
3.	In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
4.	Brush the mixture over the salmon, making sure to coat it well.
5.	Sprinkle the oregano or thyme over the top of the salmon.
6.	Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down, and grill for 10-12 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked through.
7.	Serve with lemon slices and enjoy!

PROS

A healthy, flavorful, and easy-to-prepare fish dish.
Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to numerous health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and improving heart health.

Grilling allows the fish to retain its natural flavor and moisture without adding extra fats or calories.

CONS

Depending on the size of the salmon, it can be quite expensive.
Also, some people may not enjoy the taste or texture of fish, so it may not be suitable for everyone.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

As mentioned, salmon is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, improve brain function, and reduce inflammation in the body. Additionally, it is a good source of protein and vitamin D, which are important for muscle and bone health.
