Ingredients

  • 4 sockeye salmon fillets about 4-6oz each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning blend
  • 1 cup orange juice no sugar added
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon Tamari
  • 1 teaspoon tapioca flour

Instructions

  • Ensure salmon is fully thawed
  • Rub side without skin with olive oil and cajun seasoning blend
  • Place skin side down on grill preheated to a medium high heat (around 350-400 degrees F)
  • A four ounce piece of salmon will take around 6-8 minutes to cook depending on thickness of fillet
  • In a saucepan, you add the ingredients and simmer to make the glaze
  • About 2 minutes before salmon is fully cooked brush with the orange glaze sauce and let heat through

Notes

  • double check all ingredients to ensure they are gluten free
  • I used sockeye salmon, but feel free to substitute with what you have available 
  • ensure frozen salmon is thawed
  • because  I don't live near the coast, I find frozen salmon to be my best option
  • there's no need to remove the skin from the salmon fillets before grilling, leaving them on will help hold the salmon together and they will remove easily after they are cooked
  • use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the salmon to ensure it doesn't get overcooked, I prefer salmon cooked to 145 degrees F
