Easy Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
Fresh or frozen piece of salmon
Lemon juice from one lemon
1 teaspoon of lemon zest
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 dashes of soy sauce
Salt and Pepper to taste
Cooking Directions
Mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil and soy sauce in a mixing bowl. Baste the top of the salmon with the marinade and sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on a oiled, hot grill with the skin side facing up. Grill the fish for approximately two to three minutes. You should see grill marks showing on the salmon. Baste the top of the fish (skin side) and then turn the salmon over. Cook for another 4-5 minutes. Baste the top of the fish and then turn again. Cook for another 2-3 minutes but do not overcook.
As you can see this is a simple recipe to prepare, particularly if you enjoy grilling out. It only takes a few simple ingredients and a minimal amount of preparation time. The marinade enhances the flavor of the salmon and draws out its natural flavors rather than overpowering the fish.
Serve the grilled salmon with lemon wedges. This salmon recipe goes very well with wild rice, a nice salad and fresh bread. It is a wonderful summer meal that the whole family can enjoy.
