Ingredients
- 5 pounds (680 g) fresh salmon fillet
- 60 ml apple cider vinegar
- 60 ml vegetable oil
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 60 ml water
- 15 ml lemon juice
- 5 ml red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 5 ml onion powder
- 5 ml garlic powder
- 10 ml chopped fresh cilantro
- 80 g brown sugar
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set the salmon aside in a shallow, flat container.
- In a blender, mix together the vinegar, vegetable oil, soy sauce, water, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, cilantro, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Evenly pour the mixture over the salmon and ensure it is well-coated.
- Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for no less than 2 hours.
- Prepare a broiling pan by lining it with foil.
- Take the salmon out of the marinade and put it on the prepared pan; add salt and pepper to your preference.
- Pour the leftover marinade into a saucepan.
- Set your broiler to a low setting.
- Position the salmon about 6 inches away from the heat source and broil for 5 minutes; apply the leftover marinade with a brush.
- Continue broiling for another 5 to 10 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 more times with the remaining marinade.
- The salmon is ready when it loses its bright red color and can be easily flaked with a fork.
- Simultaneously, simmer the leftover marinade on low heat until it thickens and reduces by about one-third, roughly 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve the thickened marinade as a dipping sauce or drizzle it over the salmon just before serving.
Notes
- Marinate the salmon for a longer period to enhance the flavor.
- Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your desired level of spiciness.
- Brush the salmon with the marinade while broiling to keep it moist and flavorful; the reduced marinade can be used as a delicious dipping sauce.
