Step 1

Combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, lemon zest and chili flakes in a small pot. Heat over low heat to infuse the oil with flavor. This will only take 5 minutes or so, it is crucial that you do not allow the mixture to boil or you run the risk of burning the garlic.

Step 2

Heat up a large pan or a griddle* over medium-high heat and spray with the pan spray.

Step 3

Step 4

After 3-4 minutes, flip over to the other side and season the other side with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes.

Step 5

With a pastry brush or a spoon, brush on the gremolata.

Serve immediately.
