It's been so HOT lately it's really hard to get motivated and cook inside, so we've been trying to grill as much as possible. Last night we made some amazing Salmon on the grill, it came out super delicious and I love the smoky flavor. This marinade is super easy and it's a mix of salty and sweet, the sugar makes an amazing crust on the salmon and the red pepper flakes gives it a little kick. Hope you like it as much as we do!
INGREDIENTS::
_ Salmon
_ 2 tbsp brown sugar
_ 2 tbsp soy sauce
_ 1 tbsp sesame oil
_spices: red pepper flakes, ground ginger, salt & pepper
Mix all the ingredients and marinate your salmon for about 30 min. We start to cooking the salmon on the flesh side for about 5 min, then flip and cook until desired doneness.
SIDES::
_ garlic
_ brown rice
_ kale
The Kale is super easy and SO good for you: Add some olive oil to a deep pan on medium heat. Add some garlic and cook until almost done, add the washed and cut up kale and stir. Add about 1/2 cup of water and put the lid on. It'll take about 5 min to cook, uncover and add salt & pepper to taste.
For the brow rice I just followed the package instructions, but lately I've been making it with chicken stock instead of water, it really adds a lot of flavor. For the plating I did a very "latin" thing, which is taking a small bowl, adding the rice and flipping it so it looks all cute :) it's great for portion control!
