1/2 cup green chlie powder unseasoned |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
2-teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon cumin or coriander |
1/2 teaspoon schilling or other brand lemon and herb seasoning |
extra virgin olive oil |
or use the marinade |
6 0z's (1-cup)canned ortega green chilies (if available, bueno frozen chopped green chilie will do as well) pureed in blender |
with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3 cloves garlic and all other spices as listed above omitting the garlic powder. add salt to taste. |
in gallon size zip-lock bag pour marinade and thoroughly saturate each piece of fish. place fish in baking dish pouring the marinade over the fish. cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes for boneless, skinless salmon fillets or 35-45 minutes for thicker salmon steaks. fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork but isn't dry. |
