Marinades

This is one of the original recipes that I wanted to put on this blog when I first started it.  It makes a ton of leftovers (when cooking for two people) and is just as good the second and third days. 

Salmon Marinade

1-1.5 pound salmon filet
lemon pepper seasoning, to taste
salt, to taste
4 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1. Season salmon liberally with lemon pepper, salt, and minced garlic.  Rub into the fish gently.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water and vegetable oil.  Stir until brown sugar dissolves.

3. Place salmon in large ziplock bag and pour marinade over it.  Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  (I usually do 3-4 hours)

4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

5. Wrap the fish in aluminom foil.  Cut a 2 inch slit in the foil in the center.  Place fish on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.

6. If you want to use the marinade, heat it with a little cornstach and serve over the fish.

Bon appetit!
