Grilled Salmon with Lemon Hazelnut Sauce |
What I've noticed is there is fish and then there is
salmon. I suppose the high fat content is the
difference. I'm not really sure. I just know it's
may favorite fish no matter how it is prepared. This
recipe takes a little prep time, so read the cooking
instructions all the way through. Don't live near the

| Cooking
Instructions |
- Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a zipper
bag. Marinate the salmon in this mixture at least four (4)
hours. Overnight is best.
- Combine the roasted hazelnuts and last 2 tablespoons
of freshly grated lemon zest. Set this aside for a bit.
- Grill the salmon about 6 to 8 minutes per side per one
inch of thickness of fish. Don't get all technical on me.
Just do it. Also, baste with the marinade sauce
while you are cooking.
- Garnish with the lemon-hazelnut mixture.

It's supposed to feed four (4) but you can hog two steaks for
yourself so I guess it just feeds three (3). |
