5 sprigs parsley

6 peppercorns
1 (3 pound) salmon fillet, skin on, scaled and pin bones removed

2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice

done.
To make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the olive oil and citrus juices, add the dill, and season

additional vinaigrette and garnish with dill.
