This white wine, rosemary, and garlic marinade is given a kick with crushed red pepper and hot sauce. As written, the heat level is mild, but adjust to your tastes by adding more hot sauce or a spicier hot sauce. I like to use a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, and serve the rest of the bottle chilled with dinner. This salmon tastes best when cooked on an outdoor grill.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (1 1/2-pound) skin-on center-cut salmon fillet

  • 6 fluid ounces dry white wine

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Cut fish into 4 portions.

  2. Whisk together wine, olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Pour over salmon and seal bag closed, letting out excess air. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on a plate to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. Place salmon flesh-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and grill for 3 minutes. Flip and grill an additional 3 to 4 more minutes. Sprinkle with salt before serving, if desired.

Cook's Notes:

I used a center-cut salmon filet, skin-on, that was about 1-inch thick.

If you don't have a grill, you can roast in the oven at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 12 to 14 minutes.
