"You can use any amber beer. Took on Food Network. I had to change the recipe cause it wouldn't accept this salmon needed : Alaska wild king"

Such an interesting combination of ingredients for the marinade, I wasn't sure how it was going to come out, but we really enjoyed it. It was a little bitter, but the savoriness of the soy sauce helped to balance it. I served it over a brown rice pilaf and with roasted red peppers.

This is very good! I thought it was going to be crazy salty but it wasn't. We really enjoyed it, thanks!

My BF inhaled this salmon- it was a wonderful blend of flavors! I used bottled minced ginger, and bottled minced garlic. It worked perfectly, and saved a bit of prep time. Also used low-sodium say sauce. Absolutely yummy!

I love salmon and am always looking for new ways to prepare it. I also love cooking with beer :) so this just seemed like a really good match for me and it was! Easy to make and really tasty.

I love salmon and serve it often. Because of this, salmon (and other fish) is served frequently. Always looking for good recipes for fish, I came upon your Alaskan Amber Salmon Marinade. Excellent on ANY seafood, including crustaceons. The combination of Amber Ale (Beer) and Soy Sauce creates a delicious flavour that begs for more. Of course the recipe must be served with simple and delicious sides; I gladly complied.... Wild rice and green mango, with a complement of grilled baby vegetables..... I am pleased and proud to share this recipe with my friends , and delighted to raise 5-thumbs up, in appreciation...... Thank you
