Grilled Glazed Salmon
Total time: 20 minutes
Using a natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey brings out the sweetness in the salmon. Combined with a bit of Balsamic it creates a rich, thick glaze, keeping the salmon moist and tender.
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets, 6oz each (180gr each)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs lemon juice fresh is good
Instructions:
- In small bowl mix all ingredients except salmon and lemon.
- Drizzle over salmon and allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Put salmon in a grill basket if using barbecue grill or on mesh grill pan if you don't have a basket. Grill for 10 - 12 minutes, skin-side down, with the grill cover closed. Be careful not to overcook.
- OR put on baking sheet and roast in 400 F oven for 15 - 20 minutes, depending on thickness. In both case salmon will be done when it flakes easily, slightly pink in the center is fine.
- Remove from heat and slide the salmon off the skin if needed.
- Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.
