Maple Mustard Salmon is one of my favorite grilling recipes. I came up with the recipe recently, after getting a great deal on some lovely wild Sockeye salmon. The marinate/glaze is a very easy 1-1-1 mixture, so it is simple to adjust it for large or small quantities. You are likely to come back to this marinating glaze for grilling other seafood or white meats, as well.
Be careful about substitutions in this one. Whole grain Dijon mustard is not as pungent or vinegary as other mustard styles. I strongly recommend picking some up, you will find it to be a great addition to many dishes.

Notes
Grilled Maple Mustard Salmon goes great with couscous, or a simple salad of mixed greens.
This looks great. I received some whole grain mustard in a Christmas gift basket, now I know what to do with it.
That salmon looks so fresh and tasty.
I’ve got recipe with almost identical ingredients but I LOVE mustard and maple syrup together; my favorites are on salmon and for a salad dressing. You are SO right about the whole grain mustard and I love Maille!
Was just thinking my family needs to eat more fish. This looks great!
This looks delicous, need some new ideas on how to prepare salmon so can’t wait to give this a try.
That looks so yummy
