GRILLED MAPLE MUSTARD PACIFIC SALMON
INGREDIENTS:
For the glaze:
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Fish:
• 4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
• Vegetable oil, for oiling the grill and the fish
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium high (about 375°F to 425°F).
2. Meanwhile, place all of the glaze ingredients in a medium oven-safe frying pan and
whisk until combined.
3. When the grill is ready, place the frying pan on the grill, cover the grill, and cook
until the glaze just comes to a boil, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using a hot pad or dry
towel, remove the pan from the grill; set aside.
4. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with vegetable
oil and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
5.
Rub the grill grates with a towel dipped
in oil. Place the salmon on the grill skin-side
down, cover the grill, and cook undisturbed
until grill marks appear and the skin is starting
to crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Using a flat
spatula, carefully flip the fillets over and brush
the skin with some of the glaze. Cover the grill
and continue to cook until the salmon is just
opaque in the center, about 2 to 4 minutes
more. Transfer to a serving plate and serve
immediately, passing the remaining glaze on
the side.
