Posted by Linda Roth


List of Ingredients

4 (5 oz.) salmon fillets
1 T. tequila
1 T. lime juice
1/2 C. sour cream
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
1 T. chopped chives
1/2 tsp. grated lime peel
Dash of salt and white pepper
2 T. butter, melted
Lemon and lime slices (for garnish)
Cilantro sprigs (for garnish)


Recipe

In nonreactive container (not aluminum) that is large enough to hold salmon in a single layer arrange salmon.

Combine tequila and lime juice in a small bowl. Pour over fillets and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In blender combine sour cream, parsley, chives, lime peel, salt and pepper and process until smooth; set aside.
Preheat broiler. Transfer salmon to broiling pan, reserving marinade. Pour marinade into a bowl; add butter and stir to combine.

Broil salmon, basting with marinade mixture, until fish flakes easily...3 to 4 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer salmon to serving platter; top with any juices from bottom of broiling pan and any remaining marinade mixture. Spoon sour cream mixture over fillets and garnish.
