Ingredients

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons frozen orange-juice concentrate, thawed
1 tablespoon minced scallions
4 5-ounce salmon steaks
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

Preheat grill.
Stir together mustard, orange-juice concentrate and scallions in a shallow dish. Add salmon and turn to coat both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Cook the salmon just until it is opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips & Notes

To oil a grill rack: Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to spray the food with cooking spray.
