How to make the tastiest salmon ever!

Do you know the difference between Atlantic farm raised and Alaskan Wild Salmon? The Atlantic brand is usually fattier and therfore tastier, but there are concerns over mercury levels in this type of fish. Atlantic Sockeye Salmon is the highest quality salmon, rich in Omega 3 fat but less fatty than the other. Olive Oil is a healthy way to add taste!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Wild Alaskan (Sockeye) Salmon Fillets
• Lemons (Organic if possible)
• Your favorite extra virgin Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper to taste

1. Start at least an hour ahead. Rinse the fillets and place them in a glass dish. Squeeze fresh lemon over the fillets. Use at least one lemon per fillet. The best I ever enjoyed literally bathed in lemon juice for one hour!
2. Set your oven to broil or fire up your grill. If using the oven place marinated fillets in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with Olive Oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. If grilling, rip out a piece of faithful aluminum foil and place fillets on the foil, season, and cover closing the foil together at the top.
3. Broil for 8 - 10 minutes, turn and bake 5 more depending on your oven. The grill may take up to 20 minutes. You can see that the fish is thoroughly cooked by slicing a fillet in through the center and making sure that it has cooked to a lighter pink and all signs of raw darker pink are gone. Bon Appetit!

Tips & Warnings

• Leftover salmon can be used to make patties or crocketts. I like to make a dish with sauteed garlic and onion, parsley if you have it, brown rice, broccoli and add the salmon...Voila!
