Ingredients

For the Salmon:

• 4 skin-on salmon filets (6–8 ounces each), pin bones removed
  
  

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
  

• 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning (or homemade blend)
  
  

• 1 lemon, sliced in half
  
  

For the Orange Maple Glaze:

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (preferably pure)
  
  

• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  
  

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  
  

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to a high heat, aiming for 450–500°F (232–260°C). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
   
   

2. Season the Salmon: Brush each salmon filet with olive oil. Generously sprinkle the seafood seasoning on both sides of the filets.
   
   

3. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon filets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness.
   
   

4. Prepare the Glaze: While the salmon is grilling, combine the maple syrup, orange juice, soy sauce, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the glaze thickens slightly.
   
   

5. Glaze the Salmon: During the last minute of grilling, brush the glaze over the salmon filets, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
   
   

6. Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the remaining glaze drizzled over the top.
