tequila lime salmon 11/5/07

tequila lime salmon
i felt like having some fish. i've been getting my protein lately from very varied and unruly places, so i figured something healthy and tasty would be nice. salmon was on sale, bought half a pound, a good cut for a bigger dinner.

cut of salmon
1/2 shot tequila
juice from a lime
salt
pepper
minced garlic
lemon zest
bit of olive oil
bit of butter

so the marinade i made by combining all the ingredients save the butter, and combine with the salmon, to let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes. i preheated the broiler, and when hot, took the salmon out and placed on a top rack in a baking dish, skin side down, to broil for 8 minutes. meanwhile, i placed the used marinade in a pot with the butter to reduce to an almost glaze-like sauce. once the salmon was done and cooked through (i undercooked mine!), poured the sauce over the salmon and served with cornbread.
