Yield 5 - 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup water
juice of 1 lemon and zest
1/4 cup canola oil
1 side of salmon, skinned, about 1 inch thick in middle
large sprinkle of saffron flowers
1/4 cup of minced flatleaf parsley
salt and FG pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using a grater or microplane, zest the lemon and save it, then juice the lemon. In a large, rimmed baking sheet, carefully mix the first four ingredients, then dip both sides of the salmon thoroughly in the mixed liquid. Place the side of salmon, that previously had the skin attached to it, face down in the baking sheet. Add remaining seasonings, salt, zest and herbs. Bake salmon for about 8-10 minutes. Check for doneness, according to your preferences. Remove the baking sheet carefully and avoid spilling the hot liquid. Portion and serve.
