Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each, skin on)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1/2 cup Waterford Bee Company Peach Habanero Jam

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

• Fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

   • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

2. Make the Peach Habanero Glaze:

   • In a small saucepan, combine the Peach Habanero Jam, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

   • Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently until the jam melts and all the ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth glaze. Remove from heat.

3. Grill the Salmon:

   • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

   • Carefully flip the salmon over and brush a generous amount of Peach Habanero Jam glaze on the top and sides. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4. Apply Final Glaze and Serve:

   • Brush the salmon with additional glaze and turn the heat off. Let the salmon sit on the warm grill for an additional minute to allow the glaze to caramelize slightly.

   • Carefully remove the salmon from the grill and place on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs.
