Marinated Grilled Salmon

This dandy recipe comes from my trusty, go-to site, Allrecipes.com. I stuck to the recipe for the most part, with just a few changes.

Ingredients

• 20 oz. salmon fillet
• 1/4 cup peanut oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• dash of salt
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

DirectionsAdd peanut oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, green onion, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, and salt together in a medium bowl and whisk.

Place salmon in a glass dish and pour marinade over it.

Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 6 hours.

Preheat a large grill frying pan at medium heat and add vegetable oil. When pan is heated, add the salmon and some of the marinade. Cook for approximately 5-10 minutes per side (depending on your stove), or until it has reached 63 degrees Fahrenheit. Fish will flake when tested with a fork.

Be careful not to overcook! Even if you have your fish in the pan with the heat off, it will continue to cook and lose it's juiciness! If you are waiting on side dishes to finish, remove from the pan as soon as it is cooked, lay on a cutting board and cover with tin foil.

This recipe makes delicious/flavourful salmon! It goes nicely with Carrot Basmati Rice, which can also be found on my blog.
