How long should I marinate salmon?
Chef's answer
How Long to Marinate Salmon: Because fish is so tender, 45 minutes is long enough for this marinade to flavor and tenderize the flesh. If left too long in an acidic marinade, it can almost "cook" the fish (like a ceviche) or cause it to become mushy. The leftover marinade should be discarded or cooked.
