Fish Marinades
submitted by: Paulette Kenyon

This month I have some easy marinade recipes that are good to use with practically any fish. Go for it!

Snappy Town Marinade

• 1/3 C lemon juice
• 1/4 C olive oil
• 3 T Eden Sesame Shake or 3 Tbsp. sesame seeds and 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
• 2 tsp. soy sauce
• 1/4 tsp sugar or 3 drops Stevia extract

Combine all ingredients. If you're using a firm or thick fish, poke holes into it with a fork, so that the marinade will soak into the flesh. Place fish in marinade for one hour or more. Turn occasionally to distribute marinade evenly throughout fish. You can cook fish as desired. Marinated fish is especially good barbequed, broiled, or gilled. You can brush on extra marinade before cooking, if desired.

Balsamic Dressing and/or Marinade

• 1/2 C balsamic vinegar
• 2 Tbsp. water
• 1/2 C olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. Eden Sesame Shake or 2 Tbsp. sesame seeds and 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. Vege-sal or other vegetable seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/4 tsp. sugar or 3 drops Stevia extract

Except for the olive oil, combine all ingredients in a bottle. Shake vigorously to blend. Pour in oil. Shake again. Serve as a salad dressing or as a fish marinade, following the directions in the previous recipe.

Tart Teriyaki

• 1 C Lawry's Teriyaki marinade
• 1 Tsp. "Try Me" Tiger sauce
• 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Combine all ingredients and marinade fish as above.

Note: I've used Eden Sesame Shake in two of my recipes. This seasoning is delicious and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately, it isn't that easy to find. My health store orders it for me. You can also obtain it mail order through Goldmine Natural Food Co. 1-800-475-FOOD. Another item that I've found delightful to use in cooking is an herbal sweetener called Stevia. It is very sweet and doesn't have any calories! I often like its flavor better than sugar in cooking, stir fries, coleslaws, marinades, etc. You can get Stevia easier these days through your local health food store or mail order.
