Maple-Glazed Grilled Salmon

Name: Maple-Glazed Grilled Salmon
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 3/4 cup maple syrup; 2 tablespoons ketchup; 1 tablespoon brown sugar; 1 tablespoon cider vinegar; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard; 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce; 1 salmon fillet (2 pounds)

My brother-in-law once made a sweet glaze for salmon. I lightened up a similar recipe. Grilling gives the salmon palate-pleasing taste and eye-appealing flair, making it perfect for weeknight suppers as well as weekend dinner parties.—Kate Selner, St. Paul, Minnesota

Ingredients

3/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 salmon fillet (2 pounds)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Pour 1/2 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add the salmon. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill salmon, skin side down, over medium-hot heat for 2-4 minutes.
Transfer to a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 17 in. x 21 in.). Spoon some of the reserved marinade over salmon. Fold foil around fillet and seal tightly. Grill 5-6 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open slowly to allow steam to escape. Brush with remaining marinade.

A family favorite! I use the maple syrup my dad makes and it's always moist and delicious.

I make this for club meetings/gathers and everyone always wants the recipe. It is a salmon that I make as both an entree and as an appetizer served with crackers.

This was one of the most delicious salmon recipes that we've tried. The glaze is absolutely delicious and it came out really nice on the grill.

We eat salmon frequently and this sounds like a delicious change from how I prepare it. Since it's a fatty fish, I have never had it come out dry. Maybe overcooked?

Because I don't have a grill I baked it at 350 for 25 minutes. It turned out very good.

This is the worst recipe I have ever tried from Taste of Home - grilled salmon. You MUST add some type of fat! Fish was dry and pretty tasteless. Angelizz10
