- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons brown mustard I use spicy brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey or use brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or juice from ½ lemon
- 1 serrano pepper diced (optional, for extra spicy)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste (note that soy sauce is typically salty)
- Red pepper flakes use ¼ to 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- 2 6-ounce salmon fillets
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, honey or brown sugar, mustard, lemon juice, serranos, garlic, oregano, salt and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Place the salmon in a large zip-top bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag, gently press out excess air, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Alternatively, you can use a shallow dish or bowl - just pour the marinade over the salmon, then cover tightly with plastic wrap.
