Grilled Salmon with Pineapple Marinade and Mango Salsa
Cooking MethodGrilling
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup pineapple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger root
- 1 small clove garlic, pressed
- 2 tablespoon rice wine, sherry, or sake
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
Instructions
Serves 4. Combine the marinade ingredients. Coat the salmon with the marinade and let sit for 30 minutes. Grill the salmon until done to your liking, quite pink in the middle, California-style, or more well done if you prefer. Note: Attention must be paid to the cooking of this tender, sweet fish. The coals should be burned rather low before placing the salmon on the grill. If the fire sizzles too hot, spray a mist of water on the coals. To test for doneness, "push" on the fish at its middle. The fish is cooked when it gently flakes away from your finger.
