Dinner: Grilled Maple Syrup Salmon
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 7
- Servings: 2
- Preparation Time: 30
- 400 grams skinless centre cut salmon filets
- Marinade:
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 juice of a lime
- 2 tbsp soja sauce
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- Salt and white pepper to taste
- Garlic, ginger and dill to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Prepare the marinade about 4 to 5 hours in advance. Mix the sesame oil, lime juice, soya, maple syrup, salt and white pepper, garlic, ginger, and fresh dill. Leave it to marinade for 4 or 5 hours, turning several times. I also use skinless salmon as I find the absorption is better.
- There are all kinds of variations on this marinade. I almost always use the soja, a citrus juice, something sweet like syrup or honey, and various seasonings. Fun to play with what you have on hand!
- Since this is skinless salmon, and since I like to still have some of the liquid around the salmon during grilling, I make a temporary tinfoil “pan” to slide onto the grill. I don’t use all the marinade reserve, just what naturally comes with the pieces of fish. It only takes about 7 minutes on medium high and you don't need to flip it if you're using the tinfoil pan.
