Grilled Orange-and-Bourbon Salmon

Ingredients:
1/4  cup  bourbon (Jack Daniels)
1/4  cup  fresh orange juice
1/4  cup  low-sodium soy sauce
1/4  cup  packed brown sugar
1/4  cup  chopped green onions
3  tablespoons  chopped fresh chives
2  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice
2  garlic cloves, chopped
Chopped ginger
Saracha sauce (1/2 tsp)
Scallions chopped (2-3)
4  (6-ounce) salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
Cooking spray

Preparation:
Season salmon w/ salt and pepper, both sides.
In a bowl, mix lemon juice, saracha sauce, ginger and garlic – rub/pour onto salmon.
Combine orange juice, bourbon, soy, brown sugar and scallions in bowl and pour over salmon to marinate.
Can combine in ziplog bag, but if salmon is fully thawed and too soft, put in dish and baste periodically.  The longer you let marinate, the better (few hours at least).

Grill or broil in oven.  Grilling is awesome!

Place salmon on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Cook 6 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting frequently with reserved marinade.
