MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
1/4 c Pineapple juice
2 tb Soy sauce
2 tb Brown sugar
1 ts Kentucky bourbon
1/4 ts Cracked black pepper
1/8 ts Garlic powder
1/2 c Oil
Combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar,
bourbon, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Stir
to dissolve the sugar. Add the oil. Be sure all of the
skin is removed from the salmon. Place the filets in a
shallow dish & pour the bourbon marinade over them, saving
a little to brush on the fish as it cooks. Put a lid over
the fish & refrigerate for at least an hour. A few hours
is even better. Preheat your barbeque or stovetop grill
over medium/high heat. Cook the fish 5 to 7 minutes per
side or until each filet is cooked all the way through.
Regularly brush the filets with the marinade. Arrange the
filets on each plate with the chives sprinkled over the
top.
Note: Don't worry if you can't mesquite grill your salmon,
it's the sweet bourbon marinade that makes this dish so
tasty. Not only is this marinade good on salmon, but on
other fish & chicken as well. If you do happen to use a
charcoal grill & have some mesquite smoking chips on hand,
soak a handful of chips in water for a couple hours & then
arrange them on the red-hot coals. This will give your
salmon a taste even closer to the original.
