Salmon and maple is a classic combination: the distinctive taste of the fish stands up so well to a sweeter sauce, and adding the sharp bite of Dijon mustard to the mix just brings out the best of both. Grilling everything gives you that irresistible browning on the syrup, and pulls it all together with a smoky, woodsy overtone. It’s a recipe you could imagine serving at a fishing lodge after a long day out on the water – or just a delicious grilled dinner on a long summer evening when there’s time to spend chatting over a meal with friends and family.
