This delicious grilled salmon is made with a sweet and spicy maple-chipotle pepper glaze brightened with fresh grapefruit! Simple ingredients, easy to make! A new way to enjoy salmon that you're sure to love.
Combine maple syrup, chipotle pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper chili flakes and grapefruit juice in bowl to create the marinade and glaze.
Lay out salmon evenly onto a baking sheet. Pour half the juice from the marinade over the salmon. Coat both top and bottom of salmon pieces with marinade using a brush.
Place grapefruit slices on top of salmon. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 4-8 hours in the fridge. Cover remaining marinade with plastic and refrigerate.
Heat oven or grill to 400°. Move salmon to a double layer of oiled or buttered foil. Top with remaining marinade. Wrap foil up around the sides of the salmon to prevent edges from burning/overcooking and to keep juices from leaking out.
Grill for approximately 9-15 minutes (cook time varies depending on thickness of salmon). Salmon is done as soon as temperature reach 125-145° in the thickest part.*
Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
