Salmon with Mint Salsa

1½ lbs. salmon, skin and bones removed, and cut into         4 pieces

2 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Salsa:

1 Tbs. fresh mint, finely chopped

1 Tbs. fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 Tbs. scallion, finely minced

1 tsp. fresh ginger, finely minced

1 medium ripe tomato, seeds and excess pulp    removed, diced into ¼ inch pieces

3 medium cloves garlic, pressed

2 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil

3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice

Salt and white pepper, to taste

Preheat broiler on high and place a stainless steel skillet (with stainless steel handle) under the heat for about 10 minutes to get it very hot.  Chop garlic and let sit for 5 minutes.  Rub salmon with 2 tsp. lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Using a hot pad, pull out the pan and place salmon in pan.  Return to broiler.  It will cook rapidly (usually 7 minutes for each inch of thickness).  Mix together salsa ingredients in a bowl, and set aside.  Serve on top of  broiled salmon.  30 minutes preparation time.  Makes 4 servings.
