Description
A flavorful grilled salmon recipe with a sweet and spicy maple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces skinless salmon, about 6 oz. each
- 4 tsp. olive oil, for rubbing salmon
- 1 tsp. Szeged Fish Rub or other fish rub seasoning (see notes)
- non-stick grill spray or high smoke point oil if using the grill
- 2 T sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 T fresh-squeezed lime juice (see notes)
- 1 tsp. Sriracha Sauce (more or less to taste)
Instructions
- Take thawed salmon out of the fridge, rub with olive oil and fish rub, and let it come to room temperature.
- Spray the grill well with non-stick grill spray or a high smoke point oil and heat to high.
- Whisk together the Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, lime juice, and Sriracha Sauce to make the glaze.
- Brush the salmon liberally on both sides with the glaze and continue to let it come to room temperature as needed.
- To cook, lay salmon on the grill at an angle to grill grates and immediately turn the heat to medium-high.
- After about 4 minutes, check grill marks by lifting a corner of the fish, and if the marks are showing rotate salmon to the opposite angle across the grill.
- Cook 3-4 minutes after you rotate and then carefully flip fish to the other side.
- Cook 1-2 minutes on the other side. Serve hot, with extra glaze to add at the table if desired.
- For Air Fryer cooking, brush the salmon liberally on both sides with the glaze, put in Air Fryer basket, and continue to let it come to room temperature as needed.
- Cook salmon about 6 minutes in the Air Fryer, then check for doneness by pressing down on the fish with a finger. It should feel barely firm but not hard when it’s done.
- For oven-roasted cooking, preheat to 400F/204C or 450F/232C, brush the salmon liberally on both sides with the glaze, and put in a baking pan you’ve sprayed with non-stick spray.
- Put salmon in the oven and roast for 10 minutes for 400F/204C oven temperature, or about 7 minutes for 450F/232C oven temperature.
- Serve hot, with extra glaze to add at the table if desired.
Notes
- Szeged Fish Rub is a recommended seasoning but feel free to use any fish rub you prefer.
- Fresh-squeezed lime juice enhances the flavor; bottled juice may not provide the same taste.
