Grilled Salmon with Maple Syrup and Soy Sauce pairs tender, flaky fish with a glossy glaze that balances sweet maple, savory soy, and warm notes of garlic and ginger. Marinated briefly, then gently grilled, it delivers a succulent bite with a subtle char—perfect for a relaxed weeknight dinner or a simple outdoor cookout.

1

In a shallow container with a tight-fitting lid, mix the soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, ginger, pepper, and salt. Set the salmon in the container, flesh-side down, then seal it. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate. After it is hot, reduce one side to low heat.
3

Put the salmon, skin-side down, over the low-heat side of the preheated grill and close the lid. Cook, basting once with the reserved marinade, until it flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. To remove, slide a spatula between the salmon and the skin to lift it from the grill.
