Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and shake off the excess liquid. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 4–5 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and brush them with the reserved marinade. Continue grilling for another 4–5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
