Grilled Maple Syrup: Recipes for Sweet & Smoky Glazes

Name: Maple-Glazed Grilled Salmon
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: salmon fillets; maple syrup; soy sauce; garlic; ginger

Maple syrup, when introduced to the high heat of a grill, transforms from a simple sweetener into a complex flavor agent. Its natural sugars caramelize, creating a beautiful, glossy crust and imparting a deep, smoky sweetness that enhances a variety of grilled foods. This method locks in moisture while building layers of flavor.
