Margarita Salmon

** I’m not quite sure where this came from, but it is a quick delicious way to make salmon. When talking with my patients, I’ve promised many to share it with them. Here it is – finally. I usually double the marinade.

MARINADE
1-tablespoon tequila
1-teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon paprika
2-teaspoons lime juice
2-teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

SALMON
4 (6-oz) salmon fillets, skin on

In small bowl, combine all marinade ingredients. Place salmon fillets in shallow baking dish. Generously brush marinade over fillets. Cover dish; refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours. (I usually marinate the fish 30 min.)

Heat grill. Place salmon fillets on gas grill over medium heat. Cook 8-12 minutes or until fish just begins to flake, turning once. (I also use the George Foreman Grill)
