GRILLED MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON

1/4 cup ruby red fresh grapefruit juice

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp sugar-free maple flavored syrup OR 100% pure maple syrup
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp olive oil
4 (4-oz ea) salmon fillets
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

In a small saucepan, bring grapefruit juice, balsamic vinegar, syrup and garlic to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Transfer 2 tablespoons to a small bowl and add the olive oil to it. Set the remaining glaze aside.

Coat the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the salmon and place skin side down on the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, basting occasionally with maple and oil mixture. Drizzle with the reserved glaze.

Notes: If preferred, fish may be broiled 4 to 6-inches from the heat using the same time as above.
If you are concerned about the small amount of grapefruit juice per serving, do not drizzle your piece with any of the reserved glaze mixture.
