A great salmon marinade makes your fish flavorful, tender, and juicy! This recipe gives each filet the perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors.

Most of my favorite meat recipes start with a good marinade. And I love experimenting with different ingredients to create new flavors, especially during grilling season! Here are some of our go-to marinades that you’ll definitely want to try: pork chop marinade, shrimp marinade, and chicken marinade!

What Ingredients are in Salmon Marinade?

You’re going to love how easy this salmon marinade recipe is! It’s made with simple ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. Just check the recipe card below for all the exact measurements.

Soy Sauce: Adds a savory and umami flavor to the marinade that enhances the taste of the salmon.

Lemon Juice: A little acidity is a must in marinades. It provides fresh flavor and also helps to tenderize the salmon. 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Ensures the marinade coats the salmon completely while adding plenty of moisture.

Honey: The sweetness from the honey balances the savory flavor from the soy sauce.

Garlic: Fresh garlic infuses the salmon with an incredible savory taste!

Fresh Parsley: Love adding fresh herbs for depth of flavor.

Salmon: This marinade makes enough to fully coat 2-3 pounds of fresh salmon.

How to Make Salmon Marinade and Cook Salmon

Homemade marinade is super simple to make! All you have to do is mix all of the ingredients, and then add everything to a large ziplock bag! Below, you’ll find instructions for making the marinade and also 4 different ways to cook your salmon:

Make the Marinade: Combine all the ingredients in a large ziplock bag or a large bowl.

Marinate the Fish: Add the salmon, ensuring the fish is completely covered with the marinade. Let it marinate for 30-60 minutes. Avoid letting it marinate for longer than an hour, as fish can start to break down and become mushy after too long. 

Choose Your Cooking Method

Air Fryer: Spray the basket of the air fryer with pan spray and place the salmon skin side down. Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick foil. Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Skillet: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the salmon skin-side up. Let the salmon sear for 4-5 minutes before flipping it skin side down. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. 

Grill: Preheat the grill to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and either brush or spray with oil. Place the salmon skin side down for 6-8 minutes. When it is ready to flip, it should easily release with a fish spatula. Flip the fish and cook over indirect heat for 2-4 minutes, until the fish reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix the salmon marinade and place it in a Ziplock bag.

This delicious John Wayne Casserole is Mexican comfort food at its finest! Layers of seasoned ground beef, creamy cheddar cheese mixture, and more shredded cheese are baked on top of a biscuit crust for a crowd-pleasing family dinner!

What is a John Wayne Casserole?

As for the origin of this deliciousness, the recipe was first published in a 1979 cookbook, “Cooking with Love from Cara and Her Friends,” a collection of different celebrities’ favorite dishes. John Wayne’s actual recipe was made with eggs and cheese. Over the years, it has evolved to become more of a southwestern-inspired dish with different ingredients like biscuits, onions, bell peppers and seasoned beef.

It makes such a great family meal with all of the wonderful textures from the biscuit crust and beefy layer to the creamy cheesiness! We love to enjoy it with roasted tomato salsa and/or this classic guacamole with tortilla chips.

What’s in John Wayne Casserole

Using simple ingredients, this casserole is hearty and makes 12 servings, so it’s great for feeding a crowd! See the recipe card below for exact measurements.

Grands Biscuits: The dough from a can of biscuits is pressed into the pan to serve as the buttery, fluffy crust. So good!

Meat: I like to use lean ground beef, but you can really use any ground meat, from ground turkey to ground chicken.

Onion: Sautéed with the beef, diced onion will add savoriness and depth of flavor.

Bell Pepper: Use any color for heartiness and flavor.

Taco Seasoning: 1 packet of taco seasoning is mixed in with the meat to give this dish great Tex-Mex flavor. If you want to make your own, try my tasty homemade version.

Green Chiles: Adds a subtle spice and smokiness.

Rotel: This is a combination of diced tomatoes and green chiles, which adds a nice little kick of flavor to any recipe.

Sour Cream: Has a milky, rich taste with a slight acidic tang.

Mayonnaise: Mixed with the sour cream to balance the tang for the creamy layer.

Cheddar Cheese: If you have the time, use freshly grated cheese. It will have the best flavor and melt more smoothly.

How to Make a John Wayne Casserole

Get ready for this to be one of your new favorite dinners! It’s so simple and incredibly delicious that you’ll find yourself making it again and again. Here’s how it all comes together:

Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with pan spray.

Mix in Seasoning, Chiles and Rotel: Add the taco seasoning, can of green chiles, and Rotel, and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and thickened slightly.

Make the Creamy Mixture: In a small bowl mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and ½ cup of the cheddar cheese. 

Add Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and press them into the bottom of the pan, stretching and pinching as needed for them to completely cover the bottom. Bake the biscuits for 12 minutes.

Assemble: After 12 minutes of baking, top the biscuits with the beef mixture and then spread the creamy mixture as evenly as you can over the top. Top with the remaining 2 cups of cheese.

Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and browning. Serve immediately.

Brown the beef then add in the onions and peppers.

Burgers

Prepare the Grill: Heat up your grill to medium-high heat while you prepare the patties.

Combine: Add the ground beef and seasonings to a large bowl and mix to combine.

Grilling isn’t just for burgers and steaks! There are so many delicious ways to use a grill. Try these shrimp skewers, the most incredible grilled pineapple, or simply grill up some zucchini!

What to Know Before You Grill

Grilling involves cooking food over an open flame, and with so many types of grills available, it’s helpful to know the basics for any grill you use. Here are some essential tips, especially for beginners. We’ll focus on the most common household grills: propane and gas grills.

Prepare the Recipe: Get everything ready before you even think about lighting the grill. If your recipe includes marinating meat, make sure to allow enough time for the flavors to infuse. Form your burger patties, season your chicken, or thread your skewers in advance. Having everything prepped ensures you won’t be scrambling while the grill is hot and ready.

Check the Propane Tank: Before you begin grilling, ensure your propane tank is full and properly connected. If your grill won’t start and the tank is empty, you can exchange it for a full one at most hardware stores or gas stations for a small fee. They typically have filled propane tanks ready for exchange.

Clean the Grill: For optimal performance, start with a clean grill. Use a grill brush to scrub the grates thoroughly. This not only keeps your food safe but also helps the grill function properly. For detailed cleaning instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s manual.

Oil the Grates: To prevent food from sticking, oil the grill grates before you start cooking. Use tongs to hold a paper towel dipped in olive or canola oil and rub it over the grates.

Preheat the Grill: Make sure to preheat your grill with the lid closed before you begin cooking. This ensures the grill reaches the right temperature, allowing your food to cook evenly and efficiently.

Clean the grill.

Oil the grill.

Don’t flip the meat too often.

Know the right cooking temperatures.

Allow the meat to rest before slicing.

Meat Temperature and Grilling Time

Understanding how long to cook your meat is essential for perfect grilling. To help, I’ve created a handy temperature guide for steak that includes cooking times and visual cues for doneness. This makes it easier to achieve your preferred level of doneness. Here are additional recommended temperatures for other meats:

Chicken: Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Fish: Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Pork: Cook to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and allow it to rest for at least 3 minutes.
