Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coarse grain mustard
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 6 salmon fillets
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Prepare Mustard-Molasses Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together coarse grain mustard, molasses, and red wine vinegar until well combined.
-
Season Salmon Fillets: Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper evenly on both sides.
-
Apply Glaze: Brush the salmon fillets generously with half of the mustard-molasses glaze, ensuring an even coating.
-
Grill Salmon: Preheat your grill to high heat. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, covered with the lid. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.
-
Baste with Remaining Glaze: During grilling, baste the salmon occasionally with the remaining mustard-molasses glaze to enhance the flavor and keep the fillets moist.

Tips for Success
- Grilling Tips: Ensure your grill is preheated to high heat to get those perfect grill marks and seal in the juices of the salmon.
- Glazing Technique: Brush the glaze on the salmon fillets generously but ensure not to overcrowd with too much glaze at once, as it can drip and cause flare-ups on the grill.
- Doneness Test: Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep it moist and flavorful.
