Maple Glazed Quick Grilled Salmon Fillets

Ingredients (4 portions)

• 4 (6oz/170g) skinless salmon fillet, each sliced lengthwise into 3 strips

Marinade

• ½ cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 1 rosemary sprig, bashed to release the oils
• Vegetable oil to brush on the grill pan

Method

Prep time: 5 minutes
Marinating time : 2 hours in the fridge
Grill time: 1 minute total – and no, this is not a typo

1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a non-reactive dish large enough to hold the salmon and marinade. Ruth’s note: I put the marinade & salmon in a large Ziploc bag. Keep the salmon in one layer. Place over a rimmed tray large enough for it to lie flat. Refrigerate for 2 hours, flipping the bag or salmon directly, halfway.
2. Use a cast iron skillet or grill pan. Brush with vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the Salmon – this is critical! – cook for just 20-30 seconds per side or until the fish is cooked to medium doneness. It really doesn’t take longer as the fillets are so thin.
