Tonight is sweet potato soup and glazed salmon. I've covered the soup before in this post. Today ended up being a great day for soup and indoor grilling because it's raining insane amounts of water.

As to the salmon... well, that didn't quite turn out to be salmon. Elvo got tuna instead, because he couldn't find fresh wild-caught salmon. (He found frozen, but he made a judgement call and got the fresh wild-caught tuna instead.) I think it'll be delicious anyway. I had made up this marinade beforehand so he could slip the salmon tuna in once he purchased it from the grocery store and throw it into the fridge to take on the flavor.

To make the marinade:
In a one cup measure, combine:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup oil (any kind will do)
1/3 cup brown sugar
spices to taste (I used pepper, cinnamon, and just a touch of garlic.)

On second thought some lemon thyme might have been a good choice to throw in as well, but ah well.
Mix it all up, put it in a plastic bag, and put your salmon tuna inside. Make sure the marinade is allllll over the fish, and leave in the fridge for at least two hours.

Once you've let the salmon tuna marinate for a sufficient time (over night is best -- the longer the better) break out the grill. We have a tiny electric grill we can use in doors, thankfully, so the rain isn't going to ruin our dinner!

Mm, delicious. I was worried at first about the marinade since, you know, soy sauce is salty and brown sugar is sweet, but the complex flavor really brings out the flavor in the fish. I should mention that Elvo bought some really nice (sushi grade) cuts of fish, but this marinade would be good on just about anything. Mixed with the delicate sweetness of the soup it really made for a nice, cozy meal on a rainy day.
