  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the marinade
