Directions
For glaze: Combine syrup, water, ginger, 4 garlic cloves, horseradish and ½ teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
Glaze will keep refrigerated for several days.
To prepare salmon: Place salmon in shallow pan. Add water to cover, plus 2 garlic cloves, dill and ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand in covered pan 8 minutes.
Heat broiler. Remove salmon from cooking liquid and place, skin side down, onto broiler pan. Baste with glaze. Broil, basting often with glaze, just until golden and well-glazed, about 2 minutes.
Makes 4 servings.
