Fire up the grill, but first give it a spring cleaning. Wash all the grates in warm soapy water and clean the inside surfaces with a stiff wire brush and a little soapy water.
With the warmer weather you’ll want to get bikini ready so here is a yummy and low-fat maple glazed grilled salmon recipe.
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Prepare grill, heating to medium.
Combine first 5 ingredients. Sprinkle fish with salt; rub with paprika mixture.
Place fish on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 7 minutes. Drizzle fish with syrup; grill 1 minute or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
