Marinate Protein or Veggies:
Place your choice of chicken, fish, or vegetables in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Cook as Desired:
Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high and cook until done.
Bake: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 20–25 minutes, depending on protein thickness.
Sauté: Cook in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and caramelized.
Serve:
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the cooked dish for extra flavor. Pair with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
This marinade doubles as a dipping sauce when warmed slightly.
Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
