These are salmon fillets in a tasty, tangy sauce with a little heat.
Ingredients
- 1lb large salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
How to make it
- 1. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut oil, soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, sesame oil and salt. Whisk together well.
- 2. In a larger zip-lock bag, place the fish fillet/s and pour the marinade inside, push out all the air that you can and zip the bag up. Evenly distribute the marinade and place the bag on a plate inside the fridge for 4-6 hours. Flip and redistribute the marinade half way through if possible.
- 3. Prepare an outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from the grate, and lightly oil the grate. Or cook over medium-high heat for gas grills.
- 4. Grill the fillet/s 5 inches from coals for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest part, or until fish just flakes with a fork. Turn over halfway through cooking.
- The oil of the marinade tends to start fires under the fillets, you might need to be vigilant in preventing the fire from burning the fillets. You’ve been warned. I recommend having a squirt bottle of water handy.
