This recipe originates from the Portuguese dish of grilled fish and pork served with coriander-infused olive oil. It's so simple it's almost not a recipe, but the result is so elegant you could serve it at a dinner party. Use the finest extra-virgin olive oil you have.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup  (60 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 pieces salmon fillet or steaks (each about 6 oz/175 g)
  • 3/4 tsp  (4 mL)  salt
  • 1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  black pepper
  • 1/2 cup  (125 mL)  finely chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 tsp  (10 mL)  lemon juice

Preparation

With 2 tsp/10 mL of the oil, lightly brush salmon all over; sprinkle with 1/2 tsp/2 mL of the salt and pepper.

Place coriander on chopping board and sprinkle with remaining salt; mince vigorously until almost paste. In small bowl, stir together with lemon juice and remaining oil.

On greased rack, broil salmon 6 inches/15 cm under element or grill over medium-high heat, turning once halfway through, until fish flakes easily, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon coriander oil over and around salmon.

Makes 4 servings.
