Grilled lamb chops are a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to prepare. The key to making great grilled lamb chops is to use high-quality lamb and to cook it over a hot grill. Salmoriglio sauce is a simple Italian sauce that is made with fresh herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice. It is the perfect complement to grilled lamb chops, as it adds a bright and flavorful note to the dish.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients except for lamb in a bowl.
- Place the chops in a container to marinate. I use a zip lock bag.
- Pour ingredients over chops, making sure both sides are well covered.
- Let marinate overnight. The longer the better, but give them at least one hour.
- Let chops come to room temperature (approximately 20 minutes) before grilling. Discard marinade.
- Cook on the bbq or under the broiler. For medium try about 3 1/2 minutes per side. I have also used venison chops with this recipe with great success.

Steps:
- Mix together the oregano, garlic, lemon zest from 1 lemon, lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil. Sprinkle the lamb chops with kosher salt and pepper and add to the marinade, thoroughly coating. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, and up to 6 hours.
- Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
- In the meantime, mix the flaky sea salt, rosemary and remaining lemon zest. Work the mixture with your fingers, releasing the oils from the zest and rosemary. Remove the lamb chops from the marinade and place on the direct heat side of the grill. Char on both sides and cook to an internal temperature of 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 6 minutes. If the lamb chops become too charred, but the internal temperature is still low, move them to the indirect heat side of the grill to finish cooking.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon rosemary salt before serving.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve sauce spooned over lamb.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality lamb chops: Look for chops that are evenly marbled and have a bright red color. Avoid chops that are excessively fatty or have a dull appearance.
- Prepare the salmoriglio sauce in advance: The sauce can be made up to 2 days ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to develop and mellow.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the chops and prevent them from sticking. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot before adding the chops.
- Cook the chops to your desired doneness: Lamb chops can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, or medium. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops. For rare chops, cook for 2-3 minutes per side. For medium-rare chops, cook for 3-4 minutes per side. For medium chops, cook for 4-5 minutes per side.
- Let the chops rest before serving: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.
Conclusion:
Grilled lamb chops with salmoriglio sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or dinner party. The lamb chops are juicy and flavorful, while the salmoriglio sauce adds a bright and herbaceous flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.
