Grilled Herbed Salmon Recipe


Submitted by nicoley

Makes 4 servings


A nice simple, uber-healthy recipe, appropriated from Runner's World magazine, which suggests serving it over wilted greens and warmed black beans (I added an cut-up orange too, for extra flavour and nutrients). Use wild salmon if possible. A great way to get your omega-3's.

Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
16 ounce salmon fillets, or steaks
1 1/2 cups chopped Italian parsley
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 zest of one orange
1 zest of one lemon
Directions
  1. Thirty minutes before cooking, combine olive oil, parsley, orange and lemon zest, and garlic. Rub on salmon. Chill until ready to cook.

  2. Bake or grill on medium-high heat (450 degrees) for 10 minutes for every inch of thickness. When done, the fish should flake with a fork.
