Salmon with Lemon Herb Marinade

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here's one of the easiest ways to entertain: broil or grill a large salmon fillet, then adorn it with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs. This recipe marinates the rich salmon in lemon juice, soy sauce and herbs. Serve it with a sharply flavored potato salad (like this one, with red Bliss potatoes and watercress in a yogurt-horseradish dressing) and a large bowl of greens.

Serves: 6

Prep Time: 5 minutes + marinating
