Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 Green onions, thinly sliced
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger to the bowl. Stir to incorporate.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the sesame oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the mixture.

Step 4

If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and mix well.

Step 5

Stir in the thinly sliced green onions and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Taste the marinade and adjust the seasoning if necessary (e.g., more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for tanginess).

Step 7

Place your seafood (such as shrimp, salmon, or scallops) in a shallow dish or sealable plastic bag.

Step 8

Pour the marinade over the seafood, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 9

Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the type of seafood and desired flavor intensity. Do not marinate for too long to avoid overpowering the seafood’s natural flavor.

Step 10

Remove the seafood from the marinade when ready to cook. Grill, bake, or pan-sear as desired. Discard any leftover marinade that has been in contact with raw seafood.
