Recipe: Simple Grilled Salmon Steaks

 Salmon is a great fish for the grill, as its meaty texture means it holds together well, and as it is a more fatty fish, it is less likely to dry out over the high heat. This simple recipe lets the flavors of the salmon and the grill shine through. Plus it's super easy to whip up in a jiffy on a busy weeknight for a delicious, healthy dinner!

Simple Grilled Salmon Steaks

Ingredients:

1 1/2 inch salmon steak (or fillet) per person
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp parsley
dash lemon-pepper seasoning
wedges of lemon for serving (optional)

Directions:

• Put salmon steaks in a glass dish and pour in the wine, oil, and seasonings, turning salmon to coat well.
• Put in refrigerator and let marinade for 2 hours or more, turning several times to make sure salmon marinades all over.
• When ready, set grill to medium and oil the grates or fish basket.
• Remove fish from marinade and reserve marinade. Put fish on direct heat on grill and cook for about 10 minutes, then flip and cook for 10 minutes more.
• Use the leftover marinade and brush on the fish several times before you flip, then again a few times before they are done cooking.
• Your salmon should be cooked all the way through and flake with a fork.
• Remove from grill to a platter and serve hot with wedges of lemon and grilled or steamed vegetables.
