Easy, quick & light summer recipe: Salmon with lemon, capers, rosemary

I would like to share one of my favorite go-to recipes that's perfect for a light summer dish with minimal ingredients/prep time. Salmon with lemon, capers and rosemary is a delicious meal for one, two or many!  The directions are very straightforward and easy to follow, I wouldn't change a thing!  Even my dad(a non-salmon lover) LOVED this dish!

Ingredients


  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
  • 8 lemon slices (about 2 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine (or white wine)
  • 4 teaspoons capers
  • 4 pieces of aluminum foil

Directions

Brush top and bottom of salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place each piece of seasoned salmon on a piece of foil large enough to fold over and seal. Top the each piece of salmon with 2 lemon slices, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of wine, and 1 teaspoon of capers. Wrap up salmon tightly in the foil packets.
Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Place the foil packets on the hot grill and cook for 10 minutes for a 1-inch thick piece of salmon. Serve in the foil packets.

On a separate but similar note, I'm a huge fan of finding recipes on FoodNetwork.com.  I love the digital recipe box feature that allows you to create an account and store all of your favorite recipes by category.  This is also convenient if you are not at home and need access to one of your recipes remotely!  Only note is that the flash feature is not available on the iPhone.
