MAPLE TERIYAKI SALMON FILLETS

NOTE: This recipe needs 1 to 3 hours to marinate in the refrigerator.

1/3 cup apple juice

1/3 cup maple syrup

3 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

2 tbsp finely chopped onion

4 salmon fillets (6-oz each)

In a small bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients until blended. Remove 1/2 cup for basting, cover and refrigerate. Pour the remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add salmon, seal bag and turn to coat salmon. Refrigerate 1 to 3 hours.

Drain salmon, discarding marinade in the bag. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil, using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Place salmon on grill rack, skin side down. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-inches from heat 10-12 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork, basting often during the last 4 minutes.
