Maple Bbq Grilled Salmon Recipes

GRILLED MAPLE SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Stir together marinade: 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 2 pressed garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp pepper (you can even combine it in the plastic bag to save a dish!).
• In a large zip-loc bag, combine salmon fillets with marinade and toss to combine. Seal the bag, removing excess air. Marinate in the refrigerator 45 minutes. Flipping the bag over halfway. Preheat Grill to medium/high heat.
• Remove salmon to a platter, reserving marinade. Oil the grates (dip a paper towel in oil and use tongs and an oven mitt for safety). Grill salmon skin-side-down over medium/high heat according to the chart below (this salmon took about 4 min per side). Carefully flip salmon over and continue grilling until salmon is flaky.
• Transfer reserved marinade to a small sauce pan and boil it down over high heat whisking constantly for for 3-4 minutes, or until starting to thicken. Brush grilled salmon with soy-maple glaze and serve garnished with green onion if desired.

MAPLE BBQ GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare the grill to high temperature, 425°-450° and make sure to set up two temperature zones. Clean the grill grate well and close the grill lid to preheat.
• Mix together the BBQ sauce, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Divide in two to brush some on before grilling and some during.
• Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season each fillet with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Rub the skin with oil and brush the other three sides with BBQ sauce mixture.
• Place each salmon fillet on the grill skin side down over direct heat and close the lid. Let it cook about 6-8 minutes. Check on the salmon to see if you need to move it over to the cool side if the skin is getting dark too fast.
• If you need to, move it over to the cool side, brush with some more BBQ sauce mixture, and cook another 3-4 minutes. To check if salmon is done, you can either touch the top to feel the firmness of the flesh or use a meat thermometer.
• To use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature, check the thickest part of the fish. Take salmon off the grill when it reaches 135° at the thickest part and let it rest. (USDA recommends salmon safe temperature to be 145° but some people feel that it is overdone.)
