Grilled Salmon With Orange Hoisin Sauce

Directions

1. 1. Preheat grill or possibly broiler.
2. 2. Rinse salmon steaks with water and place in a non-metal container or possibly plastic sealable bag.
3. 3. Mix remaining ingredients either in a food processor, blender or possibly by hand, and pour over salmon steaks. Marinate mix for 10 min.
4. 4. Place salmon in broiler or possibly on a medium-high heat grill and cook for 6 min per side or possibly till salmon is cooked through.
5. Serves 3.
6. Serving Ideas : I served this with sauteed spinach (5z fresh spinach, 1/2 vidalia, 2 small cloves garlic, 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar and 1 tsp soy), carrots (baby carrots boiled in oj, seasoned with butter buds, maple syrup and a healthy pinch of salt), rice and black eyed peas (zatarains), salad and bread. The spinach was overpowered by the fish but was heavenly on it's own.
7. Description: "Although there is a lot of fat in salmon, it is the heart-healthy variety, and at least one meal of a fatty fish per week is recommended."
8. NOTES : Kristin: I doubled the marinade and used it on tuna steaks we grilled. I boiled the marinade to reduce it and used it as a glaze. Pretty good but I think it would be better on salmon. Tuna is a little dry for this treatment. Of course, the next day the leftovers were wonderful. Maybe the flavors just needed time to develop
9. I cooked about 2 lbs of tuna steaks. Had sufficient cooked tuna for 3 meals. Grilled the first night, tuna "clubs" the second night, and tuna rice salad the third night.
