Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
¼ cup lemon juice (approx. one freshly squeezed lemon)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp lemon zest
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari sauce)
1 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
1 Tbsp lemon juice
½ Tbsp hot sauce
salt and pepper (to taste)
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
½ tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp olive oil
¼ cup lime juice (approx. 3 freshly squeezed limes)
½ Tbsp lime zest
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp paprika
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 Tbsp olive oil
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

Add all marinade ingredients to a small bowl and mix together.
Add salmon to a glass container or plastic bag and pour marinade sauce overtop. Container should be small enough so that salmon can soak up the sauce. Seal the bag/container and let sit in fridge for 1-2 hours before cooking. Salmon can also marinade overnight in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillet skin side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until salmon is easily flaked with a fork. (If you have small salmon fillets, just cook for less time).
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat with cooking oil. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon so skin side is facing up. Cook for 2-3 minutes then flip over so skin side is down. Pour the leftover marinade sauce over top of the salmon and cook for another 3-5 minutes. I like to watch the clock during this time because I'm not a fan of overcooked salmon.
At this point, depending on how thick the salmon is, the sides of the salmon should have just turned white and it should be cooked. To check you can use a fork to see if the salmon flakes easily. If it does, and the insides aren't translucent, then it's cooked. Remove from heat.
Heat barbecue to medium heat, place salmon on the grill, skin side up. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes, then flip. Pour extra marinade over top and cook an additional 5 minutes. Salmon will be done when easily flaked with a fork.
Lightly coat the inside of the air fryer tray or basket with olive oil or cooking spray. Add the salmon fillets skin side up to the tray. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, then flip them over and pour leftover marinade on top. Cook an additional 10 minutes, or until fully cooked.

ALASKAN SALMON MARINADE

Alaskan Salmon Marinade image

"Secret" recipe from the best steakhouse in Cordova, Alaska! This makes almost any kind of salmon palatable (except for pinks). Requires only 30 minutes marinating time. Makes a huge batch of marinade - would probably cover two huge fillets. You could try making half... (I use dried parsley and it tastes great.)
