4 Soy-Calamansi Marinade Recipe 

Are you grilling tuna or something just as fleshy and from the sea? Then this marinade is a great recipe to try on these delicate meats! Whether you’re grilling tuna belly, salmon halves, or blue marlin steaks, this simple soy sauce and calamansi marinade will ensure that each flakey piece is flavorful.

5 Yogurt Marinade Recipes 

Did you know that yogurt has the same tenderizing capabilities are buttermilk? It does! That’s because the live bacteria in yogurt can do the same thing that the acidic components of buttermilk can do to meat. Plus, we think it’s easier to find in supermarkets than real buttermilk! You can start off with a simple yogurt marinade made more flavorful with kaffir lime, garlic, and lemons. You can also spice it up with the flavors of the Mediterranean, too, so you can feel like you’ve traveled out of the country and into the land of the Greeks!

6 White Wine Marinade Recipe 

If you need a more delicious marinade that’s going to go on seafood, chicken, or even a light seasoning for beef, you might want to try this marinade. This white wine-based marinade has powerful flavoring ingredients but you’d be surprised how these ingredients can gently season your meat with just a little bit of marination. Give it taste before you pour it over everything so you can check if you like the flavor enough to not only make it into your marinade, but also reserve some for dipping the already grilled seafood into.

7 Chicken Coconut-Curry Marinade Recipe  

There is something about chicken that makes barbecue incomplete without some of this meat on the grill, too. If you’re looking to make some chicken skewers, why not try something different for a change? This chicken fillet recipe is a great way to start. It begins with chicken marinated in a gata or coconut milk-based marinade that’s flavored with curry powder, lemongrass (tanglad), patis, and garlic. To make it not look so pale, atsuete oil or annatto seeds or powder soaked or dissolved in oil should help with making these barbecue sticks look as appetizing as it should look.
