As a general guideline, ⅓ cup of marinade is enough for one pound of fish or meat if marinating in a zipper-top bag which allows the liquid to flow around the meat easily. (Plan on a ½ cup or so when marinating in a bowl.) For an effortless, complete meal, make extra marinade for use with veggies and grill alongside the salmon. The marinade would be excellent with shrimp and tuna as well. Yield: a typical restaurant serving for salmon = 6 ounces.
