Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Season 4 salmon fillets with skin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: Preheat the grill to medium heat, approximately 375°F. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 5 minutes without moving to get crispy skin.
  3. Step 3: Brush the top of each fillet generously with the maple-mustard glaze, then carefully flip and grill the flesh side for another 4-5 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, combine 3 tbsp softened unsalted butter with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Remove salmon from grill and immediately top each fillet with a dollop of the fresh herb butter. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
