This Maple-glazed salmon is a perfect dinner for busy weeknights. Salmon tops the list of fish with the most omega-3 fatty acids. This quick and easy recipe is a good way to stock up on those healthy fats.
Ingredients
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbs sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp grated ginger (optional)
4-6 salmon fillets or steaks, about 1/4 lb each, 1" thick
Directions
Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, pepper, and ginger. Whisk until well combined.
Place salmon and marinade in a zip lock bag, toss to combine. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, turning bag over halfway.
Preheat grill to medium/high heat.
Remove salmon from marinade to platter and reserve marinade.
Oil the grates of the grill (dip a paper towel in oil and use tongs).
Grill salmon (skin side down if using fillets) over medium/high heat, about 4 minutes per side. Flip salmon over and continue grilling until salmon is flaky (to desired doneness).
To make the maple glaze, transfer the reserved marinade to a small pan and boil it down over high heat whisking constantly for 3-4 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
Brush grilled salmon with the glaze if desired.
