Grilled Maple Glazed Salmon

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. 

Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. 

Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high (375°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking. 

Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip carefully. Brush the glaze over the salmon during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. 

Finish and Serve: Remove the salmon when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
