Guajillo Maple Salmon

Grilling a whole salmon fillet with guajillo maple glaze makes for a great presentation and an awesome dinner for my family and friends! Sometimes though, grilling fish on a grill can take a little patience and practice. That’s why I love reducing the hassle by using indirect heat on my Bull Gas Grill to perfectly cook my salmon every time.

A whole salmon is really easy to cook and needs only a few ingredients to bring out all those awesome flavors. I like going with a combinations of sweet & spicy which is why I pair the guajillo with the maple syrup.

Chef Anthony Pro Tip – Use a heavy-duty baking pan to grill your salmon on. Because of the weight and heat, using a thin baking sheet will cause it to bend or warp.
