Delicious salmon recipe, love the lemon flavours, the limoncello was a nice trick, tasty! I will be making this again, thanks for posting -
I am on the fence with this one! I used this on Spring Trout, grilled on cedar planks. The taste was just OK ...but, I didn't detect a whole lot of infusion of the Limoncello. You could have got away with lemon juice and some wine and the taste would have been the same. I would probably check out other recipes before I come back to this one. Sorry! -
Holy Lemoncello! I had JUST bought a bottle of Lemoncello(love that stuff!) and BINGO--needed a salmon recipe for the grill. Well, Ev,,,you came through with "flying colors." This is awesome. I did add a leeetle Chipotle to the marinade. DELISH!! -
very good recipe...I'm going to try the marinade on chicken too.

Very good! I used white wine with some extra lemon juice in place of the limoncello. We enjoyed these with baked potatoes and salad. Thanks for sharing!

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
