SALMON WITH LEMON-HERB MARINADE
Here's one of the easiest ways to entertain: broil or grill a large salmon fillet, then adorn it with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs. This recipe marinates the rich salmon in lemon juice, soy sauce and herbs. Serve it with a sharply flavored potato salad (like this one, with red Bliss potatoes and watercress in a yogurt-horseradish dressing) and a large bowl of greens.

SPICY SALMON MARINADE
This white wine, rosemary, and garlic marinade is given a kick with crushed red pepper and hot sauce. As written, the heat level is mild, but adjust to your tastes by adding more hot sauce or a spicier hot sauce. I like to use a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, and serve the rest of the bottle chilled with dinner. This salmon tastes best when cooked on an outdoor grill.

- Cut fish into 4 portions.
- Whisk together wine, olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Pour over salmon and seal bag closed, letting out excess air.

Discard any remaining marinade.

Steps:
- Cut salmon into 4 portions and place in a shallow dish.
- Wisk lemon juice, olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste in a small bowl.
- Use 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice mixture to marinate the salmon.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Stir 4 tsp chopped pitted Kalamata olives into the remaining lemon juice mixture for sauce.
- While salmon marinates, heat grill to medium-high.
- Just before cooking, lightly oil grill rack by rubbing a piece of oil-soaked paper towel over surface (use tongs to hold paper towel).
- Do not spray a hot grill with cooking spray; it could cause an explosion.
- Place salmon pieces skin side up, on grill.
- Close lid and cook for 4 minute.
- Using two metal spatulas, carefully turn salmon pieces over; cook just until opaque in the centre and fish flakes when tested with a fork 4 to 8 minutes longer, depending on thickness.
- Serve the salmon with the sauce and lemon or lime wedges.
Tips:
- When choosing salmon, opt for wild-caught fish if possible, as it's generally considered to be healthier and more flavorful than farm-raised salmon.
- If you're using frozen salmon, make sure to thaw it completely before marinating and cooking.
- The marinade is what gives this dish its incredible flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use fresh lemons, garlic, and herbs for the best results.
- If you don't have time to marinate the salmon for the full 30 minutes, even a shorter marinating time will still impart some flavor.
- When cooking the salmon, be careful not to overcook it. Salmon is a delicate fish, and it cooks quickly. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately after cooking, while it's still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
This salmon recipe is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this healthy fish. The spicy lemon marinade adds a ton of flavor, and the salmon cooks quickly and evenly. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this salmon dish is sure to impress.
