"ORANGE MARINATED SALMON STEAK"

What You Need:

• 4 fresh or frozen salmon steaks, 1 to 1 1/4 inches thick
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 cup orange juice (fresh or store-bought will do)
• 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 3 tbsp flat-leaf parsley, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/3 tsp. salt or 1 tbsp of soy sauce
• Dash of pepper

Prep:
-In a small bowl, combine oil, orange juice, white wine, parsley, garlic, salt or soy sauce, and pepper. Whisk all the ingredients together.
-Place the salmon steak pieces in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade on the steaks.
-Turn the salmon steak pieces to coat with the marinade.
-Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, turning the salmon once
while it is marinating.

How To:
-Drain the salmon, reserving the marinade.
-Season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper, and spray each side with olive oil.
-Grill the salmon on an uncovered grill (or a grill pan, or in the oven) for about 5-7 minutes.
-Turn and grill for another 5-7 minutes more, or until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.

-While grilling the salmon steak, heat up the leftover marinade (plus 2 tbsp water) in a small pot. Bring this to a boil, then lower the heat, and let it simmer, and reduce this for about 5-7 minutes, and when done, set aside. This will be your final glaze for the salmon.
-When the salmon steaks are done, transfer to a dish, brush with the orange glaze, and serve with your favorite side dish.
