Recipe By: Maciek Zurawski, Courtesy Grillin' with Day

Prep Time:10 minutes

Cook Time:30 minutes

Servings:4 People

Ingredients:

Salmon Ingredients
  • 1 Salmon filet
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Maple bourbon rub


Maple Glaze Ingredients:

  • 1/2 stick Unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp Maple bourbon rub


Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon filet dry and remove any bones that are still on the fish.
  2. Score the meat in a cross-hatch pattern, making sure not to cut through the skin.
  3. Drizzle maple syrup on the salmon as the binder and season with the Maple Bourbon rub.
  4. Preheat the grill to a low 225 degrees Fahrenheit and set it for indirect heat.
  5. Place the seasoned salmon on some butcher paper and place it on the grates.
  6. Place a small saucepan next to the salmon and add the butter, maple syrup, sriracha sauce, brown sugar, and more of Dad's Maple Bourbon rub. Close the grill and let everything melt for 10 minutes.
  7. Drizzle the glaze over the entire filet. Repeat this process every 10 minutes.
  8. At the end, crank up the grill to 300 degrees for the top to build a slight candied effect.
  9. Once the internal temperature of the Sweet Maple Glazed Salmon reaches 135°F, remove it from the grill and rest 5 minutes. Enjoy!


Notes:

  • Use real maple syrup for the best flavor (not pancake syrup)
  • Don’t overcook—salmon should be tender and flaky
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving
  • Cook the skin side down first to protect the fish
