There are hundreds of way to enjoy salmon, but that grilled salmon marinade is surely one of the best. The savory flavor and beautiful brown of marinate salmon will surely make your dinner one to remember. Add grate ginger and garlic to spice them up, oh, and don’t forget the lemon season.
You could grill this marinade salmon on open fire or bake them in oven. Just make sure that you keep the skin on so that the salmon steak/fillet will hold its shape well together. Right before serve, you could remove the skin if that’s what you’re desired.
There are a lot of different way to marinate salmon, like adding some sort of fruit, e.g. passion fruit and herb, but I found that honey and soy sauce do it perfectly. That is because they give out the brownish color, mild saltiness plus the soybean flavor will enhance salmon steak tremendously.
Unless you’re using salmon belly, otherwise, it’s better to coat with some sort of oil to prevent drying on the surface.
