Marinade For Grilled Salmon

Step 1: Combine the 8 marinade ingredients (plus Old Bay if using) in lrg plastic bag, add salmon fillets & marinate for 6-8 hrs before grilling. Reserve marinade for Steps 2&3.

Step 2: While salmon grills, transfer reserved marinade to a sml saucepan by pressing through a sieve. This allows the bulk & flavors of the garlic & chutney to join the sauce w/o making it chunky.

Step 3: Over low-med heat only, add cream cheese by the spoonful & incorporate it into the marinade until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Remember this sauce will thicken further as it cools & is not meant to resemble gravy. It should be a lightly-creamed glaze that still shines w/the flavors of the marinade.

Step 4: NOTE FROM ME: For those who might like to try an alcohol-flavored marinade option, I've been using a cognac extract add lately that we adore & guests have esp appreciated. I suppose that a bit of the real thing or other extracts would also work well, but give it a try if the idea appeals to you.
