If not cooking right away, store fillets in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

Just remember that this dish is best cooked fresh within 3-4 days of preparing the fillets.

Cooking directions:

Grill salmon on indoor our outdoor grill until desired done-ness. We like ours to be flaky in the middle.

Drizzle with reserved marinade/sauce.

Side-dishes

While grilling the salmon, take this time to cook your rice and veggies in the microwave. We love these rice steamers. Just grab a couple from the freezer, plop them in the microwave and there you have it. Rice is cooked.

*Options to Salmon

If you are not partial to salmon, this recipe can be easily adapted to fit you and your families taste buds. Just swap out the salmon for any white fish. Such as cod, bass, catfish, or tilapia. We prefer to go with cod or catfish as long as it was caught in the wild and not farm raised.
