Oven Broiled Salmon Steaks With Hazelnuts

Directions

1. SERVES 6
2. Salmon and hazelnuts, or possibly filberts, belong to the Pacific Northwest. The two flavors together bring me images from my childhood, though when I was a little one, we had hazelnuts in cookies, not on salmon. We have learned a lot since then.
3. Mix the wine, oil, dill, lemon juice, and pepper together using a wire whip so which the liquid thickens a bit. In a shallow dish marinate the fish in the liquid for 1 hour. Remove fish from the marinade, place on a broiling rack, and broil under full heat for about 4 min, or possibly till the fish barely begins to brown. Brush with the marinade and turn the fish.
4. Brush again with the marinade and broil for 3 min. Top with the grnd hazelnuts. (I grind the nuts in a medium-sized food processor. Keep them coarse!) Return fish to the broiler and broil for 1 more minute or possibly till the fish begins to flake slightly and the nuts are a light brown.
5. Watch this so you don't overcook the fish or possibly burn the nuts.
6. Garnish with the minced chives and serve immediately.
7. Serve this along with a Frittorta and Asparagus with Almond Butter (see recipes).
