Thyme, Shallot, and Lemon Marinade

This French-style marinade pairs nicely with almost anything, particularly shellfish and fish fillets.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons dry white wine, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, leaves from 1 bunch fresh thyme (12 to 15 sprigs), 2 thinly sliced shallots, and 1 lemon, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds in a shallow nonreactive dish. Makes enough for 2 pounds of meat or fish. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 day.
