Instructions
Marinate the Salmon
Assemble all marinade ingredients.
In a blender or food processor, blend all marinade ingredients.
Place salmon fillet skin-side up in prepared baking dish. (whole or divided into 4 pieces) Pour marinade over fillet(s).
Turn salmon fillet(s) to coat evenly with marinade. Cover; refrigerate salmon for at least 2 hours, turning occasionally. (may marinate up to 24 hours)
Roast the Salmon
Brush all sides of the salmon again with marinade. Roast salmon at 375 degrees F approximately 18 to 20 minutes or until almost cooked, brushing with marinade in baking dish half-way through. (Cooking time may vary depending on thickness and preferred level of doneness.)
Broil 1 to 2 minutes or just until the salmon flakes with a fork and a golden crust starts to form, rotating for even browning. (Watch carefully to prevent burning.) If desired, remove skin before serving.
Transfer to a platter and serve immediately or cover and chill for later use.

Notes
This salmon would also be delicious atop a main course salad. Consider serving warm or chilled over mixed greens or arugula with my Orange-Basil Vinaigrette.
Prefer to serve as an entrée? Grilled Parmesan ‘n Herb-Crusted Plum Tomatoes would be the perfect pairing.
