At a Mexican restaurant where I once worked part-time, I discovered how to cook Spanish rice. In this case, we’re using the ‘ancient’ grain of farro in place of the rice, and I believe it’s even simpler to cook to perfection than rice.

Delicious
I didn’t change anything except that we ran out of propane so baked at 450 for about 5 minutes on each side. This was one of the best salmon recipes ever!!!
This was simple, fast and amazing! Tasted so good. I would definitely make this for company. Loved it.
Simple and delicious! This is definitely a keeper and we will use this recipe over and over!!!
Loved it. I marinated for five hours. It could use a shake or two of salt and pepper while on the grill.
Made this for Sunday dinner and everyone loved it. I will definitely make this again!
Easy and tasty.
quite tasty! and left me some calories for some dessert tonight 🙂
Seriously good. It made a nice crunchy crust on the outside and flakey within. I didn’t have lemon juice but it still came out really good. I also roasted some potatoes and had a nice arugula salad with tomatoes with it. Hubby and I both enjoyed it. Plus it was very easy!
First time cooking salmon on the new grill…used this recipe and it was excellent. I’m not a huge salmon fan, but try to eat it some since it’s so good for you. Will definitely use this recipe again! Thanks!
This recipe was good, but I think will be better with a longer marinade time (perhaps 1-2 hours). I don’t think fish is supposed to be marinaded for longer than 30 minutes, so maybe doubling the amount of the marinade would be beneficial. I subbed the fresh rosemary with 1 tsp dried rosemary, but otherwise made the recipe as written. The flavor of the fish was good, but it was just a subtle hint of the marinade. I will try this recipe again with either double marinade or a longer marinade time. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Such a quick and easy recipe for a busy wife! The marinade took no time at all to assemble. Marinading the fish took only twenty minutes. The barbecue time was also short. THIS SALMON IS GREAT! Hubby likes it….I do as well! Thanks for posting.
Easy marinade with good flavor
This was very easy and can be made with generally available ingredients. I paired this with grilled Asparagus and rice pilaf, Kids loved it!
It was ok, next time I’ll marinate it over night.
The only reason I gave the recipe 4 stars is because I didn’t give the marinade enough time. I was in a rush so the salmon only marinaded for 15 minutes, but it was good nonetheless. Next time I will have to let it sit for at least 30 minutes. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Indoor grill. Crisp grill lines on salmon which were delicious
An awesome recipe. I do recommend marinating the salmon for a longer period of time (45+ minutes) for a rich flavour 🙂
The only change I made was Mrs. Dash instead of salt and pepper due to my husbands very low sodium diet. And it was delicious!!!!
Quick and easy as stated. The fish was good but seemed to lack some flavor. I marinated the fish for 1.5 hours without the lemon juice and then 30 minutes with the lemon to save time at my BBQ. Next time, when I have more time,I’m going to try making a balsamic sauce for the salmon as mentioned by the writer of the recipe.
think I will try marinating much longer than the 45 mins that I did. Otherwise, good recipe! (Also added just a touch of basil – felt needed something else.
