Maple Glazed Salmon

Maple Glazed Salmon is the perfect combination of savory and sweet. I like the smokiness the grill adds to this recipe.

Maple Glazed Salmon is a great sweet savory combination. Andrew loves salmon and he really enjoys this recipe. We have made maple glazed salmon on the grill and under the broiler. Both cooking methods have great results.
