Recipe(tried): The salmon was delicious! Plus recipe: Simple and Delicious Rosemary-Lemon Roasted Salmon

Hi Gladys,
I tried your Salmon Marinated in Liqueur last night--it was delicious and different--I really liked the creme de cassis. I always cook with wine, and use liqueurs in my desserts, but I never thought of flavored liqueurs for meats. What a novel and wonderful idea.

I used your recipe to christen our brand new gourmet bbq! The sugars from the liqueur carmelized the fish nicely. I used fresh rosemary but made the "mistake" of including it in the marinade--but it came out with such a nice flavor that I will repeat this "mistake" next time!

One good turn deserves another. Below is one of my favorite recipes for salmon. The presentation is lovely and it takes just minutes to prepare-- and it tastes wonderful. I also like to prepare this before guests arrive and refrigerate, then just put it in the oven 20 minutes before serving.

Simple and Delicious Rosemary-Lemon Roasted Salmon

10 (4") sprigs fresh rosemary
1 large red onion (yellow ok), thinly sliced
1 2-pound, skinless center cut salmon fillet
2 to 3 large lemons, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dry white wine
creme fraiche, as garnish (optional)

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Arrange 5 rosemary sprigs in a single layer in the center of a heavy baking sheet. Arrange the sliced onions atop rosemary and top onions with the sliced mushrooms. Place salmon atop all, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Top salmon with the remaining rosemary sprigs (LENGTHWISE) and arrange lemon slices over the salmon, covering completely. (Add extra coverage over the rosemary, which needs to be covered well to avoid burning). Drizzle over all with wine then drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lemon slices with salt. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate).

Roast salmon until just cooked through, about 22 minutes. Serve the salmon with the onions and mushrooms. Serve with creme fraiche on the side.

Simple and elegant!!!
