Citrus Infused Salmon With a Citrus Pepper Crust.

Recipe #205083 | 50 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 2 -4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: free-free

We love to soak all our seafood in citrus marinades, but this combo of marinade and dry rub was a special treat! We used our indoor Foreman "infusion" grill, that unfortunately is no longer made but I'm sure any grilling application would produce similar delicious results.

Ingredients

  • 2-4 salmon fillet (8 oz per person is plenty)
  • Wet ingredients

    Dry ingredients

    Directions

    1. 1
      This is not chemistry -- all ingredients can be adjusted to personal preference.
    2. 2
      Generously sprinkle filets with various peppers and rub in, massaging gently.
    3. 3
      Soak in marinaded with rubbed side up for approximately 1/2 hour.
    4. 4
      Place filets on grill surface(same side up) and coat top with a bit more marinade, then "crust" with more peppers and the lemon zest.

      This makes a wonderful light main dish, recommend serving with couscous, over a bed af steamed greens. Leftovers are fabulous the following day also, as a chilled lunch salad!

    This worked good. I ended up broiling it because my BBQ is acting up. I'm sure it'd be superb on the BBQ. Thanks for sharing.

    We grilled this. I thought it was okay...I think without the lemon pepper would be better, it was almost too much citrus taste. My husband liked it better than I. Will try again with the above mentioned omission.

    I used the method in this recipe on tilapia filets and liked it although I thought the orange was a bit overpowering on this milder fish. I only made half of the wet marinade as the tilapia is so much thinner than salmon and had more than enough. I love pepper so all of the pepper was perfect for me. Thank you for sharing your recipe! *reviewed for PAC Fall '07*

    This is a great way to prepare salmon! I often use the lemon pepper seasoning - this was so much better with the wet ingredients and the addition of lemon zest & fresh garlic! thanks for the post! ZWT 3
