Serves 4 
Time: 20 minutes

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ⅛ cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1-pound salmon fillet

In a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, stir together butter, maple syrup, soy sauce and garlic until the butter melts, the ingredients are well-blended and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. 

Heat the grill to medium-hot and place the salmon on it, skin side down. Brush the sauce onto the salmon, then repeat every 2 minutes as it cooks. Let it cook until the white protein melts up through the salmon or the fillet reaches an internal temperature of 125°F, about 10 minutes.

To make at home, cook the salmon on a piece of foil in a 425°F oven for 12 to 14 minutes, brushing with sauce every 2 minutes.
