Over the long weekend of the 4th of July, my husband and I were in Door County, Wisconsin with some family. While there, we took a charter fishing trip on the Bay side. We came home with a freezer full of fresh lake salmon! We made a deal to not use any previous recipes for salmon when baking our haul (and we definitely had some good favorites), or to repeat any new recipes we try. Salmon Round 1 was mine. I chose a recipe I found online
here for Salmon Tango. I have no idea where the name came from, but we both thought it was delicious. It was a very simple recipe and flavor, but allowed the salmon to shine. I highly recommend it! Note: I made mine in the oven on a foil-lined baking pan, which worked great.
Salmon Tango
1/4 c melted butter
1/4 c brown sugar
1 T soy sauce
2 T lemon juice
2 T white wine
1-1/4 lb salmon fillets
Directions
1. In a medium glass bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice and white wine.
2. Place salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag, and cover with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour, turning once.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil grate.
4. Grill salmon fillets 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until easily flaked with a fork. Baste with marinade while grilling.
