NOTES : A simple but elegant main dish, and one very low in fat, fillet of
salmon is also rich in omega-3 oils, which many medical professionals believe
help lower cholesterol. For a variation on this recipe, try marinating the
salmon in the lemon and wine poaching liquid for several hours and grilling it
over hot mesquite charcoal.
