  • Glaze:
    • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
    • 1 cup water
    • 1-1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2-1/4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 2 sprigs fresh dill
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

 


Method


 

Glaze:

Combine syrup, water, ginger, 4 cloves garlic, horseradish and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer.

Cook until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Glaze will keep refrigerated for several days.


Salmon:

Place salmon in shallow pan.

Add water to cover, plus 2 cloves garlic, dill and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let stand in covered pan 8 minutes.

Heat griller. Remove salmon from cooking liquid and place, skin side down, onto griller pan. Baste with glaze.

Grill, basting often with glaze, just until golden and well-glazed, about 2 minutes.
