Lemon and Rosemary Marinated Salmon

I am convinced that many of you know the blog La Cocina de Carolina. Well, it is that same Carolina whom we welcome today on the blog! She offers us a recipe that many will like, marinated salmon, a recipe she prepared with the new Monix frying pan, which she was able to try exclusively before its market launch and which from today you can find here. Welcome Carolina, and to everyone, enjoy!

Salmon is an oily fish with many qualities; it is one of the most recommended foods in diets for its healthy fat content and its nutritional properties. There are many ways to serve salmon, whether raw as tartare or sushi, on the griddle, smoked…

Today we offer a marinated lemon salmon recipe in a sauce that we will prepare ourselves; although in this recipe we will cook the salmon, it is important that it remain raw inside so it does not become too firm and retains the characteristic texture of fresh salmon.

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

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MINERAL FRYING PAN BY MONIX

Because of my work I have the opportunity to try a wide variety of pans and pots for cooking, from stainless steel sets to different types of cast aluminum or forged iron. Today I tell you about this pan, Mineral by Monix, which I fell in love with at first sight because of its stainless steel handle and its very original stone-style look.

The surface of this pan is completely different from 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 creating 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 dispersing it with absorbent paper is enough. Even without oil it remains completely nonstick.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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