Ingredients

• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

• Stir in garlic, green onions, sesame oil, and peanut/vegetable oil until well combined.
• Pour marinade into a resealable plastic bag or glass bowl. Add salmon to marinade and gently toss to coat. Place into refrigerator and marinate 2 to 24 hours. Flip salmon every few hours, for even flavor.
