Description
This Salmon Marinade enhances the natural flavors of salmon with a mix of savory and sweet elements, ensuring a juicy, flavorful fish every time you cook.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for a tangy twist
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using).
- Whisk all the ingredients together until well blended.
- Place the salmon fillets in a sealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 6 hours for deeper flavor.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and cook as desired, whether grilling, baking, or pan-frying.
Notes
- Do not marinate for longer than 6 hours as the acidity can begin to break down the fish, affecting its texture.
- Reserve some marinade before adding the salmon to use as a sauce. Be sure to boil it for several minutes to make it safe to consume.
