This marinade got great reviews from my loyal tasters and I couldn't agree with them more! Without blowing my own horn,,, it was really something!

Let's stop the suspense, here it goes:

INGREDIENTS for 1/2 kilo of meat:
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup (use banana ketchup if you prefer it)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp hot sauce (add more if you want more kick to it)
1 can sprite
1 head of garlic, crushed
1 small head of onion, minced
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 lemon juice

Baste:
1/2 cup banana ketchup
3/4 cup plum sauce

Extra Dip:
1 lemon juice
1/2 cup soya sauce

Procedures:
Mix them all up in a bowl, immerse the meat you intend to BBQ and keep it overnight in the fridge to ensure they suck in all the juices and the flavours.

If you want it sweeter, then add more sugar, if you want more bite to it, add lemon juice or vinegar, if you want more spice, add more hot sauce.

Obviously, if you have a kilo of meat, you just double the amount for each or triple as you increase it to a kilo and half. Math,,, very useful in cooking :)

Weave your thinly sliced meat through the skewer and get cookin'!

Baste the meat every 5-10 minutes.

If you like salty and citrusy dips... then dunk your meat to extra dipping sauce before eating.

Enjoy the weather, enjoy good food and thanks for reading!

Original Recipe:
Nancy Hawley | January 1999

This was the last salmon I made for a three in a row salmon dish that has to be as inconspicuous as possible.

The third one has to be special, otherwise my boys will probably not even put it in their mouth.

This was perfect... the maple syrup aroma was all over the kitchen... my kids got so curious and even watched it with me while I make sure the oven temperature doesn't burn it to dryness.

Tip 1: Don't dip the salmon bites to pepper. Use your finger to control how much pepper you want on your salmon bite. Have just enough pepper to have a little kick...
Tip 2: Make half the portion without pepper. Kids will love it!
Tip 3: I think this will also work well with boneless chicken pieces.

I did this in a jif.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup soy sauce
700 grams skinned salmon fillet
1/8 cup freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or canola oil spray

Cut salmon into bite-size cubes. Combine maple syrup and soy sauce in a medium-size bowl and add salmon. Make sure the fish is fully immersed in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

Grease a sheet of aluminum foil with the oil spray. Preheat oven to 500°F. put pepper in small plate and using your finger tip, tap a little pepper on one side of salmon. Place each peppered piece on foil, then cook in oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately. 

This is perfect appetizer for gatherings... even guests who are picky and not fish eaters will like this a lot. It's yum-my...
