Grilled salmon fillet with sweet soy glaze

Grilled salmon fillet with sweet soy glaze is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of maple syrup and soy sauce with the natural, hearty taste of salmon. 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:

1/4 cup maple syrup
80g
1/4 cup soy sauce
70g
16 oz salmon
450g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and soy sauce. Stir well until fully mixed to create a sweet soy glaze.
2. Marinate the Salmon:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.
4. Grill the Salmon:
- 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.
5. Brush with Reserved Glaze:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.
