A gremolata is a quickly made condiment used to finish savory dishes with bright citrus-herb flavors. Usually a combination of minced parsley, lemon zest, and garlic, ours also includes anchovy, but don't be scared—it doesn't come across as fishy. All you'll taste is a hit of salty goodness. If including this dish in a vegetarian meal, simply omit the anchovies.
