Grilled Marinated Salmon

Grilled Marinated Salmon Recipe

While we live in the PNW, it can be difficult to get fresh salmon. One of my favorite places to buy fresh fish is from a seafood store in Ballard at Fisherman’s Terminal , Wild Salmon Seafood Market. They truly have some of the best fish I have ever had. When Scott and I moved to Renton, we would make it a point to go into the city each month just to get fresh fish.

Why marinate salmon here in the PNW?

Well, when we can’t buy super fresh salmon, then I tend to marinate it. Scott is not a big fan of salmon, so marinating it makes it better for him. This recipe is easy to make and goes with so many different cuisines, ranging from Asian to American. Enjoy!
