Ingredients
-
***SAUCE***
1/2 cup white vinegar (or substitute rice vinegar)
1/4 cup white sugar
1/3 cup water
1 Tbsp. fish sauce
2 Tbsp. sherry (or cooking sherry)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp. dried crushed chili
1 tsp No-Salt Alternative
1.5 Tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 4 Tbsp. cold water
{1-3 Splenda Packets to add sweetness, if needed}
***SALMON***
Ingredients:
4 x 6 oz salmon fillets (if frozen, make sure fillets are thawed first)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
1 medium lemon, sliced into 6 rounds
1 medium lemon, sliced into wedges for serving
Directions
Makes 1/2 Cup of Sauce or 8 x 1 Tbsp-servings.
1) Place all ingredients {except the cornstarch-water mixture and Splenda sugar} in a sauce pan or pot. Bring to a boil.
2) Reduce heat to medium and let boil for 10 minutes, or until reduced by half. ***Note that the vinegar will be quite pungent as it burns off. ***
3) Reduce heat to low and add the cornstarch-water mixture. Stir to incorporate and continue to stir until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
4) Remove from heat and do some taste-test. You should taste "sweet" first, followed by sour, then spicy and salty notes. If the sauce isn't sweet enough, add a little more sugar. You may add 1-3 Splenda packets depending on your taste. If not spicy enough, add more chili.
5) Pour sauce into a small bowl or jar. Let it cool before sealing the lid. This is an excellent marinade for grilled chicken, fish or seafood. You can also serve this as a condiment or as a dip with finger foods.
