Salmon Fillets With Lime And Fresh Herbs

salmon

4 6-ounce salmon fillets (skinless)
salt and pepper
herb sprigs
lime wedges
----MARINADE----
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/3 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai or sweet basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh lemon thyme
2 cloves garlic; crushed
2 serrano peppers; seeded and chopped fine

Marinade: In shallow glass baking dish large enough to hold salmon fillets in single layer, whisk together lime zest and juice, oil, basil, chives, cilantro, thyme, garlic and serrano peppers. Place fillets in marinade and turn to coat evenly; let stand for 5 minutes, turning several times. Place fillets on greased broiler pan and broil for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once and basting frequently with marinade. Transfer fillets to serving platter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Garnish with herb sprigs and lime wedges. For a mildly Tex-Mex meal, add steamed rice with a half-cup of diced red and yellow bell pepper sprinkled on top of the rice for the last five minutes of cooking, and a green salad with chunks of avocado. Corn on the cob would make a fine first course, especially if you provide a spice grinder full of roasted cumin along with the salt, pepper and butter.
