In Latin, Greco de Maris translates to “Greek of the Sea.” At Original Gravity, Greco de Maris ($18) translates to “mouth-wateringly<br />
delicious.” A new Mediterranean-inspired dish on the menu, chef Derek Upton starts by seasoning salmon and cooking it in skillet with<br />
locally sourced herbs, garlic, thyme and olive oil. Once up to temperature, he adds a white miso honey glaze he’s made with<br />
Twisted Infusion Farms local honey to the top and brulees it to order. The sweet and savory salmon is then placed on top of a bed<br />
of sauteed garlic, crispy chickpeas, oregano and sage that have been drizzled with tangy tzatziki made with Greek yogurt, Persian<br />
cucumbers and Meyer lemons. It’s garnished with herbs, pea tendrils and radishes for added texture. Original Gravity,<br />
