4 salmon fillets about 6 to 8 oz. each
1/4 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed or not)
2 T soy sauce
Optional Glaze
3 T Honey mixed with 1 T Dijon Mustard
or
3 T maple syrup mixed with 1 T soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil
Mix the juice and the soy sauce in a large flat dish. Add the salmon flesh side down and put into the refrigerator while you prepare the grill.
Get your grill heated. If it's a charcoal grill build a two level fire by putting 2/3 of the coals on one side of the grill and the other 1/3 on the other. If it's a gas grill just heat as normal. Heat and clean your grill grates so that the salmon won't stick.
When you're ready to grill, using tongs dip a wad of paper towel into a little oil and rub on the grill grate right before you add the salmon. Then place each fillet flesh side down at a 45 degree angle over high heat. Cook for about a minute until you have a nice grill marks on the fillets. Then turn the fillets over using tongs and cook skin side down for about 3 to 4 minutes. If using maple syrup you can brush a little on the flesh side now. As the salmon cooks it will start to change color. When the change of color has reached about 1/2 way up the fillet, brush some of the honey or syrup on the fillet and turn it over on the lower heat side of the charcoal grill. If using a gas grill turn the heat to low.
When the glaze turns to a nice crust in about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes take it off the heat, tent with foil and serve with lemon or orange wedges.

Guys, you can eat beef and still lose weight but you have to choose your beef wisely. This is a great recipe for cooking a low fat steak and packing plenty of flavor into it. |
