This is a salmon marinade that I created and I really enjoy. Although the ingredients sound spicy, it actually comes out zesty. I cook my fillets in the marinade on a small George Foreman style grill. I create a “boat” out of tinfoil with an open top, so the top burner is touching the meat. They take about 8-10 minutes to cook using that method.
