I have been enjoying a lot of fresh salmon lately and thought, hey why not blog about this healthy fish? There are many sauces available to marinate the salmon too and you can add ThinStick to it..see why ThinStick is so convenient? I have tried it with BBQ sauce and honey mustard . There are also recipes out there using soy sauce. Bake it, grill it, smoke it, broil it, or BBQ it...it all taste yummy! Although the picture on this post has a lemon slice, make sure not to use a lemon marinate if you add ThinStick to your marinate, because ThinStick does not work with citrus. Here are some facts from Kaboose.com
