SPICY MARINATED BACON

Steps:

• Pour everything except the bacon in a one gallon bag and mix well shake and knead way longer than you think.
• Place the bacon in the bag one slice at a time moving the bag to cover each slice with the marinade or they will stick together and not marinate.
• when there isn't enough marinade to cover any more bacon stop filling even if it's a little more or less than 2 lbs.
• Place in the refrigerator, turning every time you open the fridge. Marinate at least over night up to a week. Over a week won't hurt the taste but the texture gets a little weird after a week or so.
• Grill very slowly. I prefer it slightly soft but you can crisp it up if you prefer.

SPICY SALMON MARINADE

Steps:

• Cut fish into 4 portions.
• Whisk together wine, olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, and hot sauce in a small bowl. Pour over salmon and seal bag closed, letting out excess air. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes. Remove salmon from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and place on a plate to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place salmon flesh-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and grill for 3 minutes. Flip and grill an additional 3 to 4 more minutes. Sprinkle with salt before serving, if desired.
