This salmon recipe has a delicious blend of lemon zest, smoked paprika, and fresh dill. The fish is extremely tender and is bursting with a variety of flavors. This savory dish will make for a delightful dinner. Letting the fish sit in the brine and cooking it slowly will prevent the white residue you sometimes get with salmon. This white substance is harmless- it is nothing but a protein called albumin (we have it in our blood too!), which you can ingest worry-free. But some people find it not so kind on the eyes. The brine helps break up the protein, resulting in a lush, pink salmon.
