Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.
2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon steaks (about 6 oz each) with paper towels and brush both sides generously with half of the maple-mustard glaze.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F), and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4. Step 4: Place salmon steaks on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with remaining glaze halfway through, until fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Step 5: Remove salmon from grill and sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill before serving to add a fragrant, herbal note.
