Growing up I don’t remember ever eating salmon. Living on the east coast we enjoyed lots of fish but not salmon. It wasn’t until our daughter moved to Seattle that I enjoyed salmon for the first time. I loved it! Now I search for fresh salmon to enjoy here in Vermont. One of our favorite ways to cook salmon is this wonderful Maple-Glazed Grilled Salmon recipe that coats the fish with a maple glaze. We can enjoy the maple syrup that Vermont has to offer with the wonderful taste of salmon, truly a winning combination.
Maple-Glazed Grilled Salmon
Ingredients:
¾ cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 Tbsp dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground mustard
1 salmon fillet (2 pounds)
Directions:
In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; mix well. Pour ½ cup into a large reseal able plastic bag; add the salmon. Seal the bag and turn to coat the fish. Refrigerate for up to two hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Before you start to grill be sure to spray your grill rack with cooking spray. Drain marinade from the fish. Grill salmon skin side up over medium-hot heat for 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spoon some of the reserved marinade over the fish. Fold the foil around the fillet and seal tightly. Grill 5-6 minutes longer or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Brush with remaining marinade and serve. Serves 4-6
