Grilled Salmon with Honey Dijon Glaze

I absolutely love salmon, and with summer officially here, there's no better way to make it than grilled. The recipe for the glaze couldn't be easier, and best of all, it's healthy with great flavor. Cheers to summer cooking!

Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 salmon fillets, skin on
olive oil, for brushing on salmon
salt and pepper

Glaze:
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 - 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed

1. Heat a gas or charcoal grill to a medium high flame

2. Make the glaze. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside

3. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel. Rub a little olive oil on the flesh of the salmon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. When the grill is ready, place the salmon fillets flesh side down (skin side up) directly onto the grill. Do not mess around with it or a nice crust will not form. After about 5 - 7 minutes, check the salmon by gently attempting to lift it off the grill with a pair of tongs. If it sticks, it is not ready - wait a few more minutes. Once it releases itself, flip the salmon so that the skin side is now on the grill.

5. Brush on about half of the glaze, reserving the rest. Let the salmon continue cooking for 5 minutes, depending on how well you like it cooked. If you prefer your salmon medium rare, let it finish cooking off the direct heat or on a low heat setting. Brush the remaining glaze onto the salmon and remove from the grill.

That's all : ) simple, healthy, and so delicious!
