MAPLE-GLAZED GRILLED SALMON

Maple-Glazed Grilled Salmon image

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
