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.
