Grilled Salmon

Got this recipe out of a low-carb cookbook ... yup ... trying to follow doctor's orders -- "eat more protein ... cut down on carbs and sugar".

Brush the glaze on the salmon pieces and let sit for a few minutes

The cooked salmon

12 oz. salmon, cut into 2 or 3 serving pieces

2 Tbsp. Splenda or regular sugar

1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp. rice wine vinegar

1/4 tsp. blackstrap molasses

Pinch of pepper and salt

 

1. Mix together the Splenda, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, and molasses in a small dish. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a separate dish.

2. Place the salmon pieces in a flat dish and pour the larger amount of sauce over the fish, turning each fillet so that both sides come into contact with the sauce. Let the fish sit for a few minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, spray lightly with vegetable oil and place salmon pieces on it. Bake in oven for 15 - 20 minutes.

4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of leftover sauce over salmon before serving.

Note: The glaze can be easily doubled for larger pieces of salmon.
