Making this on the grill tomorrow for Memorial Day

Maple/Bourbon marinated salmon

Ingredients:
8 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (1-inch thick) preferably with skin on
Cooking spray (for broiler/barbecue rack)
1 cup maple syrup or brown sugar, packed
6 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bourbon
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper



1. To marinate: Combine maple syrup, bourbon, soy sauce, lime juice,
ginger, pepper, and garlic in a large zip-lock plastic bag. Add salmon
fillets, seal bag, and marinate in fridge for 30 minutes, turning the
bag once. Remove fillets from bag and set aside the marinade. Do not
marinate for longer than 30  minutes.



2. Preheat barbecue, broiler, or oven to 400°F.



3. To barbecue or broil: Place fillets skin side down on broiler pan
coated with cooking spray. Broil 11 minutes or until fish flakes easily
when tested with a fork.



4. To roast: Line a baking dish with tin foil or parchment paper.
Place fish skin side down in center of oven and bake for 20 minutes or
so, until fish flakes easily.



5. In the meantime: bring the rest of the marinade to a boil in a
small saucepan on medium high heat on top of stove. Reduce to a little
more than half. Allow to simmer while fish is cooking. Use to baste
fish and serve as sauce.
