Maple Cherry Glazed Salmon image

DH saw an advertisement and thought this sounded good. I did some digging and found a recipe that I could modify. Serve with rice to absorb the wonderful sauce.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 cup dry tart cherries
1/3 cup cherry juice
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt (to taste)
black pepper, freshly cracked (to taste)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick
2 cups cherry juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Make the glaze by bringing the cherry juice to a simmer in a non-reactive saucepan and reduce to 1/2 cup.
  • Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a quick boil, reduce temperature and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and stir in vanilla.
  • Cool to room temperature and then chill.
  • Preheat grill on highest setting; rub the salmon with oil; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Divide the glaze using half to baste the salmon while cooking and the other half to drizzle over the salmon when serving.
  • Before cooking the salmon, place the 1/3 cup cherry juice and dry tart cherries in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, turn off heat, cover and allow to stand to reconstitute while the fish cooks.
  • Place the salmon on the grate and turn down the flame to the medium setting; baste the salmon with the glaze and grill for approximately 6 minutes on each side or until it flakes easily.
  • Drizzle the salmon with the cherry glaze and top with reconstituted cherries.
