- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice

- 3 pounds salmon fillet, with skin
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Non-stick olive oil spray
Instructions
- Mix black and green olives, tomato paste, olive oil, wine vinegar, lemon juice and water.

- Heat broiler; position oven rack so salmon will be 5 to 6 inches from heat.
- Season flesh-side of salmon with seasoning, and spray liberally with oil.
- Spray broiler pan lightly with olive oil or use foil to minimize cleanup.
- Start fish flesh-side down; grill until browned, about 5 minutes.

- Depending on the thickness of the fillet, this will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes more.
