This dish is both healthy and flavorful, making it an excellent choice for a family dinner or a special gathering. The sweet and savory glaze enhances the succulent salmon, creating a dish that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and soy sauce. Stir well until fully mixed to create a sweet soy glaze.
- Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the sweet soy glaze over the salmon, making sure it is well-coated.
- Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour. For a more intense flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours. Reserve the remaining glaze for later use.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Remove the salmon fillet from the marinade, allowing any excess to drain off. Discard the used marinade.
- Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully flip the salmon and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- During the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the salmon with the remaining sweet soy glaze. This will create a glossy, flavorful finish on the fillet.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
- Serve the grilled salmon fillet warm, garnished with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Choose fresh salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can marinate the salmon in the glaze for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and make sure it's clean to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Oil the grill grates lightly to ensure the salmon doesn't stick and has nice grill marks.
- Use a cooking thermometer to check for doneness; salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- For a more intense glaze, you can brush the salmon with additional sauce during grilling.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
