Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, pepper, and salt in a shallow container with a tight-fitting lid. Place salmon, flesh-side down, in the container and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Once heated, turn down one side to low heat.

Step 3

Place salmon, skin-side down, over low heat on the preheated grill and close the lid. Allow to cook, basting once with reserved marinade, until easily flaked with a fork, about 20 minutes. Salmon will easily remove from the grill by sliding a spatula between salmon and the skin.
