ZESTY MARINADE FOR GRILLED WILD SALMON FILLETS



Zesty Marinade for Grilled Wild Salmon Fillets image

Being an avid west coast fisherman who often brings home fresh, wild salmon and who always has a reserve in the freezer we are especially appreciative of recipes that enhance that wild natural flavour. Salmon is rich tasting compared to many other species but it is still easy to overpower its flavor. No farmed Atlantic salmon for us by the way. Wouldn't eat it myself let alone serve it to friends. This recipe serves 6.
