Grilled Lamb Chops with Salmoriglio Sauce Recipe

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for seasoning
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 (3/4-inch-thick) shoulder-blade lamb chops
  1. Grind herbs, zest, juice, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt to a paste with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl and add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Pat lamb dry and season with kosher salt and pepper. Heat a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill lamb, turning once, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  3. Serve sauce spooned over lamb.
