    Recipe: Cilantro Marinated Sockeye Salmon

    041913 SockeyeSalmon

    ​INGREDIENTS

    • 1/2 lb Sockeye Salmon

    • 1 leek (thinly sliced)

    • 1 handful fresh cilantro

    • 1 T olive oil

    • 1 clove garlic (crushed)

    • 1/2 large lemon (juice)

    • sea salt and black pepper to taste

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Combine garlic, leeks, olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Mix in Tupperware and marinate salmon for 15-30 minutes. Store in fridge.

    2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (f).

    3. Set the Sockeye Salmon on a non-stick baking pan, skin-side down, and briefly bake for ~10 minutes. Watch out so it does not burn.

    4. Change oven settings to low broil for 1-3 minutes, watching to avoid burning.

    5. The salmon is ready when it flakes and is still quite pink. Sockeye salmon is very strong in color!

    OPTIONAL: Use different herbs, such as dill, in place of cilantro; grill on outdoor grill
