Honey Soy glazed grilled salmon

This recipe is from the Cook's Illustrated guide to grilling and barbecue.

I used skinless center cut salmon fillets instead of skin-on fillets - this worked fine.

Marinate salmon fillets for thirty minutes in a half-and-half mixture of soy sauce and maple syrup. Prepare a two-level grill - heat the grill with all burners on for 15 minutes - then turn all but one of the burners down to low.

Prepare glaze while the fillets are marinating:

In a small saucepan, mix together 3 tbsp. each of soy sauce and honey. Heat over low heat until is thickens slightly.

  • Oil the grill over the burner on high -
  • Put the fillets over the high burner, grill for two minutes on each side. Brush the glaze on the top side after the second side grills for two minutes -
  • Flip the fillets glazed side down over one of the low burners.
  • Glaze the new top side.
  • Flip after three minutes and grill for another three minutes.
