2. Arrange half the lemon slices in a single layer in a baking dish.

3. Layer with 2 sprigs rosemary, and top with salmon fillets.

4. Sprinkle salmon with salt, layer with remaining rosemary sprigs, and top with remaining lemon slices. Drizzle with olive oil.

5. Bake 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.

These are salmon fillets in a tasty, tangy sauce with a little heat! Serve with a delicious salad for a refreshing, spicy meal.

Ingredients

• 8 (4 ounce) fillets salmon

2. Prepare an outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from the grate, and lightly oil the grate.
3. Grill the fillets 5 inches from coals for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part, or until fish just flakes with a fork. Turn over halfway through cooking.
