Grilled Salmon

For our Sunday entree, I planned to grill the remaining fillet from the salmon that Brian had delivered a few days earlier. I was going to a baseball game prior to dinner so this had to be kept simple. In hindsight, I could not have made it simpler.

I chopped up some thyme, Italian parsley and dill. In a bowl I mixed some olive oil and naranja agria, then added the herbs. I used a spoon to kind of mush the herbs a bit in order to get the juices flowing. I popped this into the fridge until I returned from the game

Naranja agria is bitter orange juice and is available at Latin grocery stores. It is fantastic for marinades!

When I returned home, I fired up the grill and laid the salmon on the rack. Then I spooned the marinade onto the fish. C'est tout! After 10-15 minutes it was time to eat.

Sometimes I think I need to perform a lot of fancy culinary tricks to achieve deliciousness. This was a time when I was reminded that sometimes the simplest things are the tastiest.

Bon appétit!
