Margarita Salmon
Why I Love This Recipe
This saucy marinade, inspired by the famous Mexican drink, complements salmon's full-bodied flavor.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 tablespoon tequila
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
4 (6-oz.) salmon fillets, skin on
Directions
In small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Place salmon fillets in shallow baking dish. Generously brush marinade over fillets. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
Heat grill. Place salmon fillets on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals.
Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until fish just begins to flake, turning once.
