Salmon with Lemon and Thyme. Baking salmon in a low-temperature oven slowly melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. Lemon and thyme, a classic Mediterranean combination, add another. Serve the grilled salmon with your favorite sides. It is easy to grill vegetable skewers at the same time as the salmon, making a light and healthy meal. Rice also pairs well with grilled salmon.
Grilled salmon with lemon and thyme goes well with many varieties of white wine.
Try sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, or an off-dry German riesling.
An simple mix of melted ghee, garlic and fresh herbs (plus a little lemon) give this salmon fillet tons of flavor and a high oven temp even gets the skin a little crispy!
