Grilled Terriyaki Salmon
- 1 pound wild salmon
- 1/4 cup shoyu
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinger
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 tbsp. ginger, peeled and minced
- 1/3 cup water
- 2-3 scallions, minced
Place salmon in a flat container or baking dish. Mix shoyu, maple syrup, vinegar, garlic, ginger and water, and pour over salmon. Marinate for 25-35 minutes or overnight. The longer you marinate, the stronger the flavor infuses into the fish. Brush your grill with oil. Place salmon on the grill for 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness). Serve with grilled vegetables. Serves four.
