Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Previous Next

¾ cup maple syrup
1⁄3 cup balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and minced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
½ to ¾ tsp hot-red-pepper flakes
Salt (to taste)
1 (3-lb) side of salmon, skin on, boned
3 to 4 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

1. Prepare a charcoal fire, or preheat a gas grill for direct grilling over medium flame. 2. In a small bowl, mix together the first six ingredients. 3. Using a pastry brush, coat both sides of the salmon with olive oil. 4. Place the salmon, flesh side down, on the grill. Cook until it loosens its grip on the grill, 7 to 8 minutes. Turn carefully, then spoon the sauce over the cooked side of the fish. Grill until the sauce has formed a glaze and the salmon flakes with a fork but is still a bit opaque in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes. 5. Remove from the grill and serve.
