COPYCAT APPLEBEE'S HONEY GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Mix together mustard, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Marinate salmon filet with the honey sauce for at least 30 minutes (preferably overnight).
• When ready to cook, remove the salmon from marinade, pat it dry, and salt and pepper both sides. Brush a preheated grill with the grape seed oil and cook the salmon skin-side up for 4 minutes, then flip over and cook for another 5 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked.
• While the fish is cooking, make the honey sauce. In a small saucepan, bring the marinade to a boil. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and water and add it to the heating sauce. Boil for 1 minute to cook and thicken slightly. Add a pinch of salt, then serve with the grilled salmon.

APPLEBEE'S HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine liquid ingredients No. 2 through 10 in saucepan and warm to just below a simmer over low heat.
• You may opt to use a "double boiler" pan to avoid scorching the glaze.
• Next, add garlic and then slowly add sugar while stirring.
• In small cup/bowl, add cornstarch to cold water and mix thoroughly until starch is dissolved. Increase heat to glaze and slowly stir in the starch/water mixture as it thickens.
• Do not bring to full boil. Stop just short of the desired final consistency. It will continue to thicken.
• Reduce heat to keep warm. You may serve on the side of your favorite broiled dish or brush on just before removing from the broiler/grill.
