Place the portions of Salmon in a marinating dish or vessel. Do not use any metal container, preferably glass. Let marinate for 1 hour on the counter or 4 hours inside the fridge. While marinating, prepare the vegetables. After the marinating period is over, put the pieces of Salmon on a rack with a dripping tray covered in foil on the medium rack in the oven at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 15 minutes for thick pieces or 12 minutes for thinner pieces. Baste the pieces once with the marinade when the white bubbles, the natural fats of the Salmon start to appear. After basting put them back in the oven and turn the broiler on on high for 2 1/2 minutes. Set the cooked Salmon on the vegetables as per the video.
