Grilled Orange Salmon


Salmon on the grill last night.  This recipe was close to others I've used except for one important addition:  tarragon.  Yuuuummmm!  This came out just perfectly, light and flavorful on another hot summer evening.  So simple, so easy, so delicious.  Recipe from Taste of Home website.

GRILLED ORANGE SALMON  (serves 2)

2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 Tbsp minced fresh tarragon
1/2 Tbsp EVOO
3/4 tsp minced chives
1/4 tsp zested orange peel
1/2 tsp minced garlic
S&P to taste
1 salmon fillet (about 3/4 pound)

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients.  Set aside 1 Tbsp marinade for basting.  Pour remaining marinade into a ziploc bag; add salmon.  Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate 2-3 hours.

Drain and discard the marinade.  Grill, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 6" from the heat 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork (#4 on the George Foreman grill for about 10-12 minutes).  Baste occasionally with reserved marinade.
