How to Make 4Th Of July Grilled Salmon Or Chicken
- In a large zip-top bag, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup peanut oil, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add salmon fillets (about 1.5 lbs) or 4 chicken breasts to the bag.
- Seal the bag tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill salmon for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Grill chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, then transfer to a covered pan and finish in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes, basting with 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Leftovers make delicious sandwiches with tomato, cream cheese, and avocado.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
