Maple Grilled Salmon

Serves 4

1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
Cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add fish. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 3 hours.

2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

3. Remove fish from bag, reserving the marinade. Pour marinade into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons (about 5 minutes).

4. Place fish on a grill rack or pan coated with cooking spray; grill 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, basting occastionally with marinade. Remove fish from grill; sprinkly with salt and pepper.

Served with: broccoli and mashed potatoes

Results: I've had better salmon, but I would probably make this one again. It's a quick, easy marinade and makes a sweet salmon. I was really hoping the syrup would entice Steven to try it, but he put one piece in his mouth and spit it out into the garbage can. Henry ate most of his salmon (I think the only parts he didn't eat were the ones that were too small to pick up with his fork.) However, my favorite little eating machine pissed me off when he decided to fake vomit out his mashed potatoes. I wonder where he picked up that little trick. Hmmmm...
