Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon steaks (6 oz each) with paper towels. Brush both sides generously with half of the maple-mustard glaze.
Step 3: Preheat a gas grill to medium heat, about 375°F. Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Place the salmon steaks on the grill and cook for 4 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from the grill and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
