15046.png We had friends over for dinner on Friday and one of them is a vegetarian.

I decided to marinate salmon steaks with a mix of olive oil, dill, thyme, capers and garlic and they were a big hit at the dinner table. In-fact, my vegetarian friend said that the salmon was restaurant quality!

This recipe is quite easy to make and a quick to cook so perfect for a dinner party.

Ingredients

  • 4 x salmon fillets
  • 1/4 extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 glove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
  • 4 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons thyme, finely chopped
  • salt and pepper (I used lemon pepper but regular pepper is also fine)

Instructions

  • Combine olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, capers, dill, thyme.
  • Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Place fillets in a single layer in a ceramic dish and pour over half the marinade. Turn steaks and pour remaining mixture.
  • Cover and refrigerate for approx. 2-3 hours.
  • Remove from fridge 30 mins before cooking.
  • Pre-heat grill or BBQ plate on medium to high heat.
  • Cook salmon for 3 mins (if skin is on, cook with skin up first).
  • Turn over and cook for a further 4-5 mins. Brush with marinade occasionally.

I served this dish with the roast vegetable salad I previously posted about along with a jacket potato.
