We had a very big piece of salmon and needed to cook it. It was a gift from our cousin and since we don't do a lot of fish on the grill, truly had no idea how to cook it.
So, for recipes, I turn to Tamara. Not All Recipes. Not cooking sites. Not even Twitter. Just Tamara. Here was her recipe:
Usually a couple tablespoons olive oil, half a lemon at least 1 tablespoon soy sauce because you won't be using salt, 2 tablespoons ginger, sometimes I wash it off a bit to remove some of the sugar...
Recipes pour out of her like magic. Because I am NOT a cook I needed a little more direction. Here is how we made it, with measurements.
1/2 bag crystallized ginger, minced
juice of a whole lemon
1/4 cup olive oil
3 T soy sauce
Big honking piece of salmon
Paul cut the salmon into small pieces. We marinated it for 2 1/2 hours.

Paul grilled it to perfection - about 7 minutes total. Skin came right off. There was nothing left of the salmon. All gone, in our bellies.

Oh my goodness, you have to try this.
- a couple other suggestions she had:
for a little sweeter taste, use the whole bag of ginger, cut in chunks;
or add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup;
and/or use lime instead or with the lemon;
and/or use Vidalia onion or 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil;
My preference is the maple syrup. (Duly noted)
Thank you my friend.
