SALMON FILLETS CANADIANA



Salmon Fillets Canadiana image

Recipe works well with either pink or red salmon fillets. Recipe developed by myself while experimenting with combinations of liquid flavours and herbs. My preference is fillets rather than salmon steaks; however, both cuts of salmon work well in this recipe. Preparation time does not include marinating time. Ingredient variations include: ginger, cilantro, chopped parsley, teriyaki sauce, balsamic vinegar
