Salmon Marinade

Salmon Marinade is a simple method to dramatically increase the colour and flavour of salmon. Creating a marinade is very easy recipe to follow and making it in advance even easier. Serve as part of the main dish. Normally serve the salmon fillets with vegetables and rice or mashed potato for a perfect dish. If you would like to spice it up try adding a chopped deseeded red chilli into the marinade.

• Cover tightly with a lid or cling film and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 1 hour. I have made this the night before and left it in the fridge.
• When ready to cook, remove the bowl from the fridge and remove the salmon fillets. Any garlic, parsley or thyme pieces should be removed to avoid the burning on the grill.
• If you are bbq the fillets, cook them over a medium – high heat for 5 minutes each side. I use the marinade to baste them while cooking.
• If oven baking them, preheat the oven to 425F/220C/Gas Mark 7.
• Place the salmon fillets, skin side down on a foil lined baking tray and cook for 15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through. You can tell by the paler flesh when cooked.
• I like to serve with a steamed spinach and pan fried peppers and a sliced chilli for a filling, tasty and aromatic meal.
• Add a lemon wedge per serving
  1 large lemon
