Marinade for Meat, Poultry or Fish

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"I have used this marinade for pork loin, chicken, and salmon and it is great with all of them! You can increase the quantities of ingredients, but this smaller amount is just perfect for us, since most of the time it's just the two of us! Cook time is marinade time."

I marinated our chicken for 4 hours then grilled. Excellent! I can't wait to try it on some salmon! Thank you!

This sounds very similar to a marinade that I use. Try using sesame oil instead of the vegitable oil. Also use a dash of rice wine vinegar and some teriyaki sauce. It is WONDERFUL.

The quanity, marinating time and the flavor were perfect for my small family. Used it for two rib eye steaks that I put on the grill - they were wonderful after marinating for only 2 hours. Since I decided to grill the steaks late in the day I wanted a marinade that I didn't have to leave the meat in over-night or for up to 8 hours and this was just the thing. Will definately keep this recipe and just increase it when we have company and are doing larger quantities. Can't wait to try it on other things. Thanks for posting.
