YIELD: SERVES 2-4
TOTAL TIME: 35 MINUTES

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds fresh salmon filet, skin-on (about 1-inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Directions:

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the fish with the olive oil.

Whisk together the dijon and maple syrup. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the salmon, then spread the entire top with the dijon mixture. Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down.
