Firecracker Grilled Salmon

Adapted from All Recipes

This is our 100th post for our recipe blog!  How very exciting!  So, to celebrate I decided to post about my all-time favorite salmon recipe (to date...there could be a better one somewhere out there that I just haven't discovered yet.).  The marinade is extremely good and the grilled flavor on salmon is the best.  I generally serve with a bunch of grilled veggies, but added some grilled pineapple this time as well.  Yum!

Ingredients:

• 4 (4 oz) fillets of salmon
• ¼ cup peanut oil
• 4 Tbs soy sauce
• 4 Tbs balsamic vinegar
• 4 Tbs green onions, chopped
• 3 tsp brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ½ tsp ground ginger
• 2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp salt

Directions:

• Combine all ingredients for marinade.  Cover in a medium glass dish for at least 4 hours, setting some of the marinade aside to drizzle over fish and veggies after grilling.
• Preheat grill at medium.  Grill fish for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.  Flip occasionally.
• Serve with grilled veggies (zucchini, yellow squash, mushrooms and red peppers) and rice.
