A clinical study showed Mazola Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive oil. To learn more about this claim, visit Mazola.com.

Now that summer is right around the corner we've been firing up the grill on our back deck and have started making some of our favorite summer dishes. A go-to meal that we have weekly in our house is this Spicy Asian Salmon Marinade. It's a meal that I know everyone will eat (including the kids) and is made with simple ingredients that we always have on hand.

How to make this Spicy Baked Salmon Recipe:

The base to this marinade starts with 1/4 cup of Mazola Corn Oil. Mazola Corn Oil is a heart-healthy* cooking oil and creates marinades that make great-tasting food because it has a neutral taste that lets the natural flavor of your food stand out. Mazola has always been our go-to oil because it has a high smoke point of 450º, which makes it great for grilling and stir frying. Mazola Corn Oil also has more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils* (4x more than olive oil, 3x more than vegetable (soybean) oil, and 1.3x more than canola oil.) Clinical studies indicate that when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, plant sterols can help reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the gut.

How Long to Let Your Salmon Marinade For:

This is entirely up to you. You can prep this ahead of time by putting your salmon in the marinade the night before, but I typically put all my ingredients together in a gallon sized bag, and then let the fish sit in there and absorb the flavors while I'm waiting for the grill to heat up. I find it usually sits in there for about 10-15 minutes and still yields amazing flavor!

What to Pair with Your Salmon:

When we make this Spicy Asian Salmon Marinade, we typically pair it with brussel sprouts and potatoes! To make these sides, we typically toss the veggies in a bit of Mazola Corn Oil, sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and then wrap them up in foil and let them cook on the grill along with the salmon.
