Ingredients

30 ounces salmon, skin and pin bones removed (6 5-oz portions)
olive oil
salt
pepper
6 tablespoons creole mustard
6 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons corn syrup
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

After 2 minutes turn fillets 45 degrees, then grill 2 minutes more until they are medium-rare.
One minute before removing from the grill, spoon 1-2 tbsp of the Creole mustard-ginger glaze over the crosshatched fillets.
Glaze:.
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Makes 1/2 cup.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh ginger. Peel and grate it just before using.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium heat.
To make the glaze, whisk together the ginger, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Brush the glaze on the salmon fillets and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the salmon fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through, about 10 minutes per side.
Serve the salmon fillets with rice, vegetables, and the remaining glaze.
