Grilled Orange-and-Bourbon Salmon

yield: 4 servings.

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup bourbon

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup chopped green onion

3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, chopped

4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)

cooking spray

DIRECTIONS:

Combine first 8 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag, and add salmon to bag. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 1-1/2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare grill or broiler.

Remove salmon from bag, reserving marinade. Place salmon on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with reserved marinade

Any way is fine with me:
MARINATED SALMON SEARED IN PEPPER (serves 4)

3 TBL lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 tsp sugar
Two 12 oz center-cut salmon fillets, skinned & halved

Thanks to all. I love the sound of that pepper one!

Yeah, but with Mst's you'd have an excuse to have a highball. LOL

We love Marilyn's Gourmet Sauce and I use it very often for salmon. After marinating the salmon in a shallow casserole dish in the sauce, I then put it in the oven, sauce and all and it's delicious. My photo of her recipe.

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup honey
2 cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon ginger (fresh or dried)
1/4 cup red wine (or Mirin)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Whisk all ingredients together. Allow to sit at least 1/2 hour to blend flavors. Use on Salmon, chicken or pork.

Here's one that I use. It is great.

1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBS melted butter
3 TBS soy sauce
2 TBS lemon juice
2 TBS dry white wine (optional) - I don't use

Combine all ingredients. Place salmon on foil covered pan that holds fish tightly in one layer. Pour marinade over fish. Cover and place in refrigerator 6 hours to overnight. (I leave mine overnight) Uncover - bake in preheated 400 degree over about 30-35 min - basting every 5 min.
