How to Grill Maple Ginger Salmon:
- Prepare a grill fire to 300°.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic, ginger and salt. Cook over medium heat until just heated through but not boiling.
Remove from heat and brush over the salmon in a thick layer.
- Place the salmon on the grill over indirect fire and cook with the grill closed for 15 minutes.
- Brush with glaze every 15 minutes, continuing to cook with the grill closed until internal temperature reaches 140° with a digital meat thermometer. Total cooking time will be determined by the type of grill and the size of the salmon.
- Serve with Baked Potatoes, salad and grilled garlic bread for a complete meal.
Tips for Grilling Salmon:
- Salmon cooks quickly so it’s important to keep an eye on it, using a digital meat thermometer is the best way to avoid overcooked fish.
- The USDA recommends cooking fish to 145°. If you prefer your salmon cooked to medium, grill to 130°.
- Grill salmon skin side down. The skin will protect the flesh from sticking to the grill and from cooking too quickly.
- Don’t flip the salmon, it will cook through without being flipped.
- Smoke flavor is a delicious compliment for salmon. Try pecan, hickory or oak for amazing flavor.
How to Store and Reheat:
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
- Reheat salmon in a covered skillet over medium heat for 5- 8 minutes until heated through.
