Instructions:

Preheat the Grill:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Prepare the Maple Glaze:

• In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Allow the glaze to simmer for 5-7 minutes or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Season and Oil Salmon:

• Season the wild salmon fillets with Rusty Hook Spice Blend.
• Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.

Grill the Salmon & Lemon Halves:

• Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until the salmon is still slightly pink in the middle (medium temperature).
• During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the maple glaze over the salmon, allowing it to caramelize.
• Place Lemon halves on grill flesh side down for 3-4 minutes, (grilling the lemons adds flavor and will help to release the lemon juice when squeezed over the salmon).

Serve:

• Transfer the grilled wild salmon to a serving platter.
• Drizzle any remaining maple glaze over the top.
• Garnish with chopped fresh tarragon and grilled lemon halves.

Enjoy:

• Enjoy your Grilled Wild Salmon with Maple Glaze alongside your favorite side dishes, such as cous cous, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
