I just love Salmon and I'd say this is my favorite to date. This has an Asian touch. Lots of flavor. I did make this with Salmon but its possibilities are endless like tuna, Mahi Mahi, shrimp, orange roughy... I bet grilled pineapple in this marinade along with the fish or meat would be great! Cooking in a basket will caramelize the fish giving it a crispness and ease in turning it and cooking in foil will keep it moist as well as ease in flipping the fish. Cooking time is up to you I like my salmon very tender so I tend not to overcook it. This is great served on white rice. Leftovers would be great on a salad. The picture here is the salmon made under the broiler. Ingredients:
2/3 cup orange marmalade |
1/3 cup rice vinegar |
1/3 cup soy sauce |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger |
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes |
1 teaspoon sesame oil |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 pinch chili pepper flakes |
pepper |
2 1/2 lbs fresh salmon fillets, washed and towel dried |
fresh sliced scallion (to garnish) |

1. In a ziplock gallon size bag add first 8 ingredients.
2. Seal and mush with hand till blended.
3. Add Salmon and marinate for 1 hour.
4. Heat grill to medium high.
5. If using a fish basket or heavy duty foil, spray it with nonstick oil.
6. Remove salmon from marinade and reserve.
7. Place salmon into basket or foil folding tail in to make thickness even.
8. Place basket or wrapped in foil on barbecue and grill salmon, skin side up, 5 to 7 minutes.
9. Meanwhile bring the marinade to a boil then reduce heat to simmer till fish is cooked.
10. Turn basket over and grill salmon until just opaque in center, about 5 to 7 minutes longer.
11. Turn salmon out onto platter.
12. Drizzle the reduced marinade and garnish with scallions.
