Grilled Salmon with Rosemary

Contributed By: wanda22

Phase 1

Ingredients

1 pound Salmon

2 teaspoons Extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons Fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon Salt

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

2 cloves Garlic, minced

2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary leaves, chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried, crushed

Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Capers (optional)

Preparation

Cut the fish into 4 equal-size portions. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary in a bowl. Brush the mixture onto the fish.

To grill, arrange the fish on a grill rack or use a grill basket sprayed with olive oil cooking spray. Grill over medium-hot coals until the fish flakes easily (allow 4-6 minutes per 1/2" of thickness). If the fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it halfway through grilling.

To broil, spray the rack of a broiler pan with olive oil cooking spray and arrange the fish on it. Broil 4" from the heat for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" of thickness. If fish is more than 1" thick, gently turn it halfway through broiling.

To serve, top the fish with capers, if using, and garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
