Chinese Style Salmon Marinade

A simple salmon marinade that works wonders and lifts an ordinary salmon fillet or salmon steak into something a bit special for the barbecue.

Ingredients - serves 6

6 x 5/6oz/140g - 175g fresh Salmon fillets or Salmon Steaks

Marinade:

• 6 fl oz/170ml light soy sauce
  
• 4 fl oz/130ml olive oil
  
• 2 teasp sesame oil
  
• 2 Tabs grated fresh ginger
  
• Juice of 1 lime
  
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  
• 4 spring onions (scallions), finely chopped

Place the Salmon fillets or Salmon steaks in a non-corrosive dish such as glass, ceramic or stainless steel.

Alternatively put them into a plastic bag (saves on washing up).

Mix all the ingredients together and pour over the Salmon.

Leave to marinate for 1 - 2 hours.

When the barbaque is hot, take the salmon out of the marinade and place, skin side down, on top of the grill.

Baste 1 or 2 times with the marinade and cook for about 5 minutes or until seared underneath.

Turn the Salmon over and baste again.

Cook for 2 - 3 minutes or until the Salmon is cooked in the middle - poke the tip of a knife in the middle of the fillet and have a look.

Serve with rice and a simple salad.
