Instructions

Place the salmon in a medium bowl. Cut one lemon in two and squeeze the juice on the fish. Run the coldest tap water on the fish, enough to cover the fish. Let it sit for about 15 minutes
Note: This process helps eliminate that raw fishy smell.
In the meantime, in a small bowl, add the lemon juice from the second lemon, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, mustard, garlic, white wine, and olive oil. With a fork or spoon mix to combine.
Rinse and pat the fish dry. Place the fish in a medium bowl and pour the marinade over the fish. Coat to combine
Let the fish sit in the marinade for 15 minutes.
Preheat the broiler.
Note: I broil the fish on a rack that is about six inches from the flame.
Place the fish on a large sheet plan lined with aluminum foil
Place the fish under the broiler and cook for 10 minutes
Remove the salmon from the broiler. Plate and serve with your favorite sautéed vegetable.

Notes

I like to use Wild Pacific Salmon. It's relatively expensive, but it is well worth the price. It's a thick piece of fish and as a result, it comes out with a moist and buttery texture.
