Citrus juice gives a clean, satisfying flavor to chicken, veal and fish. Use an herb that is compatible with the food you are marinating, such as thyme or tarragon for veal, sage for pork, dill or tarragon for fish. Let steaks, chops and fish fillets marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or all day if you wish. Large cuts can marinate for 1 to 2 days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CycleGal from Simple and healthy marinade This was super easy, used fresh rosemary that I bring inside for winter. Vacuum sealed pounded chicken breasts for grilling the next day. Awesome lemon flavor!
