The best salmon marinade ever

This salmon recipe is delicious. Whenever I make it I always feel like I'm eating take out because it's restaurant quality good. Whether you bake it or grill it, the salmon comes out perfect. Don't mess with this recipe, follow it exactly, and you'll have yourself a genuine fancy dinner!

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons of honey
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 (3lb) salmon fillet, with skin

To start, make a boat out of some tin foil and place it on a baking pan (baking) or on a cookie sheet (grilling). Lay your salmon in the middle of your tin foil boat and mix your olive oil, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, honey, basil and shallots together in a small mixing bowl. Poor the marinade over your salmon fillet and let it marinate for two hours. You can always marinate it longer but make sure the marinade and fillet are nice close friends for two hours at a minimum.

If baking, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Once preheated place the dish in the oven for 40 minutes or until the salmon flakes with a fork. Once cooked thoroughly, slice the salmon and use a spatula to remove it from the pan, leaving the skin behind.

If grilling, preheat your grill for medium-low heat. Place your tin foil boat with the salmon and marinade in it onto the grill and grill for 10 minutes per every inch of thickness, approximately 20 minutes. Salmon should flake with a fork. When you serve the salmon, the skin should stick to the foil. Slice and use a spatula to scoop the fillet off of the skin to serve.

I am known to serve this with thai noodles and a fresh green salad or creamy orzo and fresh green beans. No matter what you serve this with, your meal will rock and your family will be impressed!
