THE BEST SALMON MARINADE
Fabulous Family favorite!!! Super easy and lots of flavor! Made many times and never had negative results. If there are any leftovers this salmon makes a wonderful salad topper for lunch or a salmon salad sandwich. When cooking on the cedar plank or adding liquid smoke, it takes the salmon to a whole new level of flavor. Awesome... best of all this is pretty much idiot proof! Try serving with recipe#318889 or recipe#297906 for a great tasty feast.

GRILLED SALMON WITH MUSTARD ORANGE MARINADE
Dijon, orange juice and scallions, most of which are in your fridge. Easy, low in carbs and so delish. I found this on the eating well website. Hope you enjoy. Original recipe called for 2 T. dijon, we have chosen to cut back to 1 tablespoon and love it that way. Sometimes we broil in the oven and to keep the steaks moist, I add some of the leftover marinade about half way through broiling.

ZESTY MARINADE FOR GRILLED WILD SALMON FILLETS
Being an avid west coast fisherman who often brings home fresh, wild salmon and who always has a reserve in the freezer we are especially appreciative of recipes that enhance that wild natural flavour. Salmon is rich tasting compared to many other species but it is still easy to overpower its flavor. No farmed Atlantic salmon for us by the way. Wouldn't eat it myself let alone serve it to friends. This recipe serves 6.

Steps:
- Combine the first 8 ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Marinate the salmon for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
- Broil or grill about 4 minutes on each side.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught salmon if possible, as it is typically leaner and has a better flavor than farmed salmon.
- Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices will give your marinade the most flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Don't over-marinate the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it doesn't need to be marinated for long. If you marinate it for too long, the acids in the marinade can start to "cook" the fish, making it tough.
- Use a flavorful oil: The oil in your marinade will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful. Use a high-quality olive oil, avocado oil, or walnut oil.
- Let the salmon come to room temperature before cooking: This will help the fish to cook evenly.
Conclusion:
With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a salmon marinade that you love. Whether you prefer a simple marinade with just a few ingredients or a more complex one with a variety of flavors, there's a recipe here that's perfect for you. So next time you're cooking salmon, don't just throw it on the grill or in the oven plain. Give it a try with a marinade, and you'll be amazed at the difference it makes.
