Easy Ginger, Chili and Lemon Salmon

Ingredients

Serves 4

1 ½ lbs / 680 gr (or four 6-oz pieces) salmon fillets, skin on or off

Juice of 2 lemons

1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and grated

2 - 3 chili peppers, seeded and chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt

Directions

In a bowl combine olive oil, lemon juice, ginger, chili peppers, garlic and salt.

Place salmon fillets (skin side up) in a shallow dish and pour marinade over it. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and place a rack in the middle.

Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil and lightly grease it with olive oil (alternatively you can use a cast iron skillet).

Place salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, skin side down, and drizzle some of the marinade over them.

Cover with aluminium foil and bake for 15 minutes, turn on the broiler, remove foil, and broil for further 3 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
