Balsamic-Ginger Marinated Salmon

This is Dustin's favorite way to eat fish. That's what he told me when I made it (for the second time) recently. And I'd have to agree that it's pretty delicious. I'd be happy to devour a fillet of Wild Alaskan Salmon simply grilled with a dash of salt and pepper. But for those less-enthusiastic about fish, this recipe does the trick. If you opt to bake it, make sure to serve the salmon drizzled with any sweet and garlicky marinade left in the baking dish. Perhaps, over a bed of brown rice to soak up the flavor. Yum.

Balsamic-Ginger Marinated Salmon

INGREDIENTS
4 (6-oz.) salmon fillets
2 Tbsp. peanut oil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. green onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. honey
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
2 tsp. fresh ginger, minced or grated
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
pinch salt

DIRECTIONS
1. Whisk to combine peanut oil, soy sauce, vinegar, green onion, honey, garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Place salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish and pour marinade over top. Cover and refrigerate 2-4 hours.

2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400 F. Grill or bake (12-15 minutes) until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve over a bed of brown rice garnished with sliced green onion.
