Spicy Salmon Marinade

Ingredients

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

Directions

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.
