Broiled Salmon with Garlic and Mint Sauce

1/2 cup olive oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tsp minced fresh mint
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 fillets of salmon (6- to 7- ounces each)

Preheat the broiler.  Alternatively, preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat.  Pour 1/2 cup olive oil into a medium bowl.

Mince 8 garlic cloves and add them to the olive oil.
Add 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 4 tsp chopped fresh mint.
Add 2 tsp kosher salt and 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lay 4 salmon fillets on the foil.
Brush the salmon on both sides with a generous amount of the mint mixture.
Broil the salmon for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is just opaque inside. As the salmon cooks, brush frequently with the mint mixture.

Tip for checking the salmon: Stick a small paring knife in the center of salmon for 10 seconds. When you take it out, gently place the blade (the flat part – let’s avoid the lawsuits, people) against your upper lip. If it’s hot, the salmon is done.

Serve over rice or couscous.
