Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with skin on and brush both sides generously with half of the maple-soy glaze. Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 375°F) and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving, until grill marks form and the skin is crisp.
  5. Step 5: Flip the fillets carefully and brush the cooked side with the remaining glaze. Grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
  6. Step 6: Remove from grill and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges for squeezing.
