Thyme, Shallot, and Lemon Marinade image

This classic marinade pairs nicely with almost any meat, particularly shellfish and fish fillets. Don't marinate shellfish for longer than twenty minutes; the acid in the lemon juice will cook the flesh.

Yield Makes 2/3 cup; enough for 2 pounds of meat or fish

This marinade is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt or omitting it altogether.

I'm not a big fan of thyme, but I really liked this marinade. The lemon and shallots really balance out the flavor of the thyme.

This is a great marinade for vegetables. I marinated zucchini, squash, and bell peppers and then grilled them. They were so delicious and flavorful.

I made this marinade with olive oil instead of vegetable oil and it was still delicious.
