Grilled Teriyaki Salmon (soy free, dairy free, gluten free)

A friend of ours, Tom McConnaughay, grills a very delicious salmon, including a teriyaki salmon. He found this recipe on the Paleo Newbie blog that includes a soy/dairy/gluten-free recipe for teriyaki sauce/marinade and grilling salmon, http://www.paleonewbie.com/paleo-teriyaki-salmon-recipe. I'm giving it a try tonight.

INGREDIENTS

Salmon - 4 filets, about 6 oz each, preferably wild caught

Salt & pepper

Teriyaki marinade/sauce

1/2 cup coconut aminos

1/2 cup honey

1/4 cup orange juice, preferably fresh squeezed

2 Tbsp rice vinegar

1 Tbsp sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger or 1/2 tsp ground ginger

COOKING INSTRUCTION

Teriyaki marinade/sauce - whisk together all the ingredients in a small sauce pan.  Heat, whisking constantly, to boiling and cook about 2 more minutes. Set aside to cool.

Salmon - salt and pepper the salmon. Place in dish that will hold it and marinade. Pour about 1/2 the marinade over and let marinate in refrigerator at least one hour. Throw away used marinade.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place salmon, skin side down, on grill. Cook about 10 minutes, or until salmon flakes with a fork. Brush salmon with remaining sauce/marinade several times while it is cooking.
