Marinated salmon with lemon and rosemary

I'm sure that many of you know the blog La Cocina de Carolina . Well, it's that same Carolina that we welcome to the blog today! She offers us a recipe that many will like, marinated salmon, a recipe that she has made with the new Monix frying pan , which she was able to try exclusively before its launch on the market and which you can find here from today. Welcome Carolina, and everyone, bon appetit!

Salmon is a blue fish with many qualities, it is one of the most recommended foods in diets due to its content of healthy fats and its nutritional properties. There are many ways to serve salmon, whether raw as tartar or sushi, grilled, smoked...

Today we propose a recipe for salmon marinated with lemon in a sauce that we will prepare ourselves. Although in this recipe we will cook the salmon, it is important that it remains raw inside so that it does not harden too much and maintains the characteristic texture of fresh salmon.

To prepare this lemon salmon recipe I used the new Mineral frying pan from Monix , which promises to be the best model from the brand, both for the high quality of its new and revolutionary non-stick system (the feel of its surface is unique, nothing like what I had seen before in any frying pan).

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MONIX MINERAL PAN

My job gives me the opportunity to try out a wide variety of pans and pots for cooking, from stainless steel to different types of cast aluminium or wrought iron. Today I'm talking about this pan, Mineral by Monix, which I fell in love with at first sight because of its stainless steel handle and its original stone-style look.

The surface of this pan is completely different to what I was used to, rough to the touch, made thanks to a unique manufacturing technology that uses small steel balls to modify its surface, thus forming an ultra-resistant finish. This allows me to use the minimum amount of fat for cooking, just spreading a drop of oil on the surface and spreading it with absorbent paper is enough. Even without using oil it is still completely non-stick.

Ingredients

• The juice of a lemon
• 100ml extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
• 1 sprig of fresh thyme
• 2 cloves of garlic crushed
• A pinch of salt
• Black Pepper Balls
• 4 slices of salmon
• 4 teaspoons chopped black olives
• Lemon slices

Preparation

1. We mix the lemon juice with the olive oil, the chopped fresh rosemary, the sprig of thyme, the garlic, the salt and the freshly ground pepper with the pepper grinder .
2. Place the salmon fillets on a deep plate and sprinkle with two thirds of the previous mixture to marinate them.
3. We cover it with film and let it marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, mix the chopped black olives with the remaining lemon mixture. Set aside.
5. Once the salmon is ready, put the pan on medium-high heat and add a few drops of oil.
6. We add the salmon slices and cook for about 2-4 minutes on each side (depending on their thickness).
7. Serve the salmon dressed with the olive sauce and a few slices of lemon. In summer it is great accompanied by a fresh salad.
