Served with rice, pasta or potatoes, salmon is a dish that can rarely go wrong. This fish can be spiced and marinated to taste like a million bucks, and most of the time it’s a reasonably priced option, too. This simple recipe is a zesty, tangy treat you’ll be craving when it’s gone.

    Turn the oven's broiler on high and position the top oven rack 5-6″ below the heat source. Line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper, spray with cooking spray and place salmon fillets skin side down. Coat with remaining marinade.
