    Maple Mustard Grilled Salmon

    Jul 25, 2014 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Apr 1, 2022

    Jump to Recipe

    Simple and delicious, this Maple Mustard Grilled Salmon uses only a few ingredients and can be made on the BBQ or in a stove-top grill pan.

    If you are anything like me, you enjoy a lot of grilled salmon over the summer. There is just something about those crispy, caramelized bits that salmon gets when grilled. This Maple Mustard glaze has become a favourite of ours lately, ever since discovering it in the cookbook "At Home with Lynn Crawford". So I thought I'd share for those who may be looking for delicious and easy new ways to enjoy salmon.

    Maple Mustard Grilled Salmon

    The glaze has only a few ingredients, which are combined in a small saucepan and simmered for a few minutes to thicken. The combination of the sweet maple syrup and spice and texture of the grainy mustard is just so perfect with salmon. The bit of butter for richness and vinegar for a bit of acid really rounds out the flavours in this glaze. The glaze can be made well ahead, if you like.

    Cook's Notes

    This salmon is excellent on the BBQ and cooks in about 6 minutes. If you don't have a BBQ, a hot grill pan works well inside. In either case, just be sure to brush the grill well with vegetable oil before placing salmon, so it doesn't stick.

    Servings 4 servings

    Ingredients
     

    • 4 salmon fillets, center-cut, skin on or off, as you like
    • Vegetable oil, for brushing
    • Salt and pepper

    Glaze:

    • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup grainy mustard
    • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
    • 1 tsp. cider vinegar
    • 1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme, or a pinch of dried
    Prevent screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the glaze ingredients. Bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove pot from heat and set aside.
    • Preheat BBQ or grill pan to medium high.
    • Brush both sides of the salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. When BBQ or grill pan is hot, brush well with vegetable oil. Place salmon skin or bottom side down on to grill. Close lid and grill without touching until grill marks appear and skin or bottom is crisp, about 3 minutes. Brush some of the glaze on top of salmon, then turn salmon over. Brush the exposed side of the salmon with some glaze as well. Close lid and continue to cook until salmon is opaque in the center, about 3 minutes more.
    • Transfer salmon to a plate and serve the remaining glaze on the side. A sprinkling of a finishing salt like Maldon is a great topping.

      Served this on Good Friday on both rainbow trout and salmon. The flavor paired well with both kinds of fish. Next morning used the remaining glaze on pea meal bacon, fantastic.

      I made this for a friend who is gluten and dairy free. I swapped the butter out and used olive oil and it still came out delicious! She loved it.

      Ooooh sounds delightful! I need to grill fish more often! Maple and mustard......... I feel like that's a flavor combination that needs to be expanded to coat other delicious foods :)

        Thanks Sophie. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm convinced this glaze would be perfect on pork tenderloin and probably something like chicken thighs, too.
