BBQ Salmon with Sweet Soy Sauce

In Indonesia, it's common that people use sweet soy sauce for BBQ. Whether for fish, chicken or beef!! But for chicken and beef, you want to make sure that you cut the meat into small bite-size pieces first because the sugar in the sweet soy sauce burns easily if you cook it for too long. Unless.. you like the burnt taste that covers the meat... which I personally don't mind some times. ^_^

Salmon has a good dense texture.. so the sweet soy sauce flavour really sinks-in after you marinate it and let it sit in your fridge for about 15-20 minutes. You can substitute salmon with other fish too... It would be different, but still good!

4 pieces of salmon steak

1 cup sweet soy sauce

3 tbsp vegetable oil

1 medium, diced

4 cloves garlic, diced

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp cajun powder

1 tbsp ground chili (such as sambal oelek; optional)

1 tsp turmeric powder

6 lime leaves, roughly sliced

1 tsp each salt and ground pepper

If you prefer a finer marinade, put everything in the blender.. and blend untill smooth.

Cover the fish steaks with the marinade and let it settle in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.

Heat up the BBQ or oven and cook untill done. ;-)

Enjoy with steamed rice or fries. Yummm...
