This is a grilled salmon made with full bodied wine (Shiraz is best). It needs to marinate overnight for best flavor.
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup Shiraz wine
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 2 pounds salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
PREPARATION:
In a bowl, mix the brown sugar in the hot water until dissolved. Pour into a large resealable plastic bag, and mix in wine, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and lemon pepper. Place salmon in the bag, seal, and marinate 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat a grill for high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Reserving marinade, place salmon on the grill, and cook 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until easily flaked with a fork.
Transfer reserved marinade to a pot. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water. Bring the marinade to a boil, and stir in cornstarch mixture to thicken. Serve over the salmon or on the side as a dipping sauce.
