How to Make Balsamic Garlic Marinade

  1. In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.
  2. Place your chosen protein (salmon, chicken, steak, pork chops, or burgers) in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the protein, ensuring it's fully coated. For best results, marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours in the refrigerator (not at room temperature).
  4. Preheat your grill, broiler, or pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the protein from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
  6. Grill, broil, or pan-fry the protein for your desired doneness, basting occasionally with any leftover marinade (if using separately stored marinade). Cook times will vary depending on thickness and type of protein.
