4th of July Firecracker Salmon

Directions

• 4 6-ounce salmon steaks or fillets

For the marinade:

• 1/4 cup  peanut oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons  balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon chili paste or 2 teaspoons pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Combine all marinade ingredients in a small bowl . Place salmon in a large resealable bag (or two). Pour marinade mixture over top. Force all the air from the bag and seal. Place in the refrigerator and marinate for 1 hour.

Preheat grill. Remove fish from bag and place on a hot grill. Brush with some of the marinade and discard the rest. Cook over a high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until done (between 145-150 degrees F.).

Time will vary because of the thickness of the salmon. Once it’s cooked, remove from grill and serve with your favorite sides from Joe’s Gourmet to Go.
