Flavorful Salmon Fillets

Name: Flavorful Salmon Fillets
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 2 servings.
Ingredients: 1/4 cup packed brown sugar; 1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce; 3 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice; 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon ground ginger; 1 teaspoon pepper; 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce; 2 salmon fillets (1 inch thick and 6 ounces each)

Compliments are a “shore thing” when Krista Frank fixes these fabulous salmon fillets at home in Rhododendron, Oregon. A tasty marinade pumps up the flavor and keeps them moist and tender.

Ingredients

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 salmon fillets (1 inch thick and 6 ounces each)

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the first nine ingredients; add salmon. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 15 minutes, turning once.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Place salmon skin side down on rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 13-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

I didn't think I liked salmon until I tried this recipe. I can't say enough positive things about it. It was very moist and flavorful. My husband also loved it. I look forward to making this many times in the future. I've already passed the recipe around at work so everyone else can have the wonderful meal we enjoyed. I served it with baked potatoes and steamed carrots.

This salmon recipe has to be the best my husband and I have ever tasted. Cheers to whoever was the person who made it possible. We plan to use it lots in the future.
