Grilled Salmon

This recipe is really good but should be called “Sweet Soy-Glazed Salmon” instead (but I didn’t want to mess with the official recipe title).  Since I have fish so rarely, when I do, it has to be good.  And since salmon is so good for you, this recipe is the best of both worlds.  The marinade is easy to throw together, the salmon gets caramelized on the grill, and the dreaded “fishy” taste is gone!  It’s like a piece of candy, I’m serious (which may or may not be appealing to you….).

Serve this with some brown rice and a green veggie, and you can celebrate doing a great thing for yourself.  You won’t be disappointed.
