Grilled Maple Soy Salmon

This is a yummy way to add pizazz to plan ol’ grilled salmon. Taken right out of the pages of The Best of Clean Eating cookbook, it will have your mouthwatering, keep your tummy satisfied and make you forget about those high calorie meals you use to eat!

Ingredients:
1 Salmon fillets or steaks (4 ounces each)
1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 Tablespoon soy sauce (you can substitute low sodium soy if on a reduced sodium diet)

*If you like your flavor with a bit of heat… add (1) Teaspoon of Garlic Chili Paste

Directions: 
1. Place salmon in a large, shallow glass container. 

2. In a small bowl, stir together syrup and soy sauce (along with optional garlic chili paste), and brush on both sides of salmon (or on skinless side only, if salmon has skin). Let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Place salmon directly on grate over medium-high heat for three to four minutes (skin-side down, if salmon has skin). Flip with tongs or a spatula and grill for two to three more minutes, or until salmon is no longer shiny or translucent in the middle. The flesh should be firm and just slightly flaky.

4. Serve immediately.
