Description

Marinated in a sweet and zesty maple syrup and soy sauce blend, these easy grilled salmon fillets make a flavorful meal for two!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets

Directions

1 Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, pepper, and salt in a shallow container with a tight-fitting lid. Place salmon, flesh-side down, in the container and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2 Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Once heated, turn down one side to low heat.
3 Place salmon, skin-side down, over low heat on the preheated grill and close the lid. Allow to cook, basting once with reserved marinade, until easily flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Salmon will easily remove from the grill by sliding a spatula between salmon and the skin.
