We're
big fans of Agrumato fruit-pressed olive oil here at
Out of the Frying Pan. It's expensive (about $14 for
a 7 oz. bottle), but a little goes a long way. If you
compare it to buying a bottle of wine and consider how
much longer it will last, it's easy to view as a worthwhile
investment. If you can't find Agrumato, pick an olive
oil infused with tangerines or oranges. Failing that,
mix in some fresh orange zest into plain olive oil before
brushing it on the salmon steaks.
