Recipe Introduction


The original recipe asks to grill this. I have broiled it and it is great..... if you aren't in the mood to stoke up the barbecue.





List of Ingredients



• GLAZE
  
• 1 head of garlic
  
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  
• 2/3 cup water
  
• 1 cup pineapple juice
  
• 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  
• 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
  
• 1 1/3 cups dark brown sugar
  
• 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
  
• 3 Tablespoons minced white onion
  
• 1 Tablespoon Jack Daniels whiskey
  
• 1 Tablespoon crushed pineapple
  
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  
• 4 1/2 lb fresh Atlantic Salmon
  
• salt & pepper
  
• fat-free butter-flavored spray
  






Instructions



1. preheat oven to 325 degrees.
   
2. To roast the garlic for the glaze, cut about 1/2 inch off the top of the garlic head. Cut the roots so that the garlic will sit flat. Remove most of the papery skin from the garlic, but leave enough so that the cloves stay together. Place the head of garlic in a small casserole dish or baking pan, drizzle the olive oil over it, and cover it with a lid or foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the garlic and let it cool until you can handle it.
   
3. Combine the water; pineapple juice, teriyake sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium/high heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture boils, then reduce the heat until the mixture is just simmering.
   
4. Squeeze the sides of the head of garlic until the pasty roasted garlic is squeezed out. Measure 2 teaspoons into the suacepan and whisk to combine. Add the remaining glaze ingredients to the pan and stir.
   
5. Let the mixture simmer for about 40-50 minutes or until glaze has reduced by about one-third and is thick and syrupy. Make sure it doesn't boil over. When the glaze is done, cover the saucepan and set it aside until the fish is ready. (When I broil this instead of barbecue I marinate the salmon filets in the glaze for about 30 minutes)
   
6. To cook the fish, preheat your barbecue or kitchen grill to medium/high heat. Remove any skin or bones from the fillets. Brush the entire surface of each fillet with a light coating of fat free butter flavored spray. Lightly salt and pepper both sides of the fillets and place them on the hot grill at a slight angle, so that the grill marks will be made at an angle on the fish. cook each fillet for 2-4 minutes, then turn them over placing them back on the grill at an angle once again. After 2-4 minutes turn the fish over at a different angle so that the grill marks will criss cross. Cook 2-4 minutes more, flip again and cook until done. The entire cooking time should be somewhere between 8-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of the grill. Be careful not to burn the fish and quickly move the fish away from any flare-ups. (When I broil them I broil for about 4-5 minutes on each side and put some of the glaze on when I turn the fillets.)
   
7. When the fillets are done, remove them from the grill and spoon a generous portion of glaze over each one.
