First, go out on Lake Michigan or Lake Superior and catch yourself some salmon. Take your pick, coho, king, heck, even a rainbow will work. Get a couple of nice filets and here is a marinade for the fish:
6 oz. Alaskan Amber Beer(any amber will work, drink the Alaskan Amber if you have it)
6 oz Lite Soy sauce
8 Garlic cloves, pressed
2-3 inch piece of ginger, grated
3/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
Mix all together and put in zip top bag with 2-3 lbs of salmon filets. Marinate for 12-24 hrs. Grill flesh side down over direct heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and grill for another 3 to 5 minutes. Take a spatula and remove the filets from the grill, leaving the skin on the grill. Before I eat the filet, I turn them over and remove the dark flesh material in the middle of the filet on the skin side - that is fishy tasting. Flip back over, plate it, and serve with some roasted peppers and some rice (or potatoes). Sounds more complicated than it is, and your taste buds will be rewarded. Your will amaze your friends with your cooking skill.
