Equal parts soy sauce and real maple syrup. That's it.
Works well with all meats, particularly salmon steaks, chicken, vegatables . . . and anything you can "kabbob." Marinate in a zip loc plastic bag or container for a minimum of an hour, but longer is better.
Low sodium soy sauce is fine, but do buy a naturually fermented brand and not one that used chemicals to ferment. (read label)
Variations on a theme:
Don't want to marinate, but want a post grill glaze? Simmer a half cup of maple syrup with a couple tablespoons of soy sauce until thickened.
Like it spicy? Add red pepper flakes, to taste
Teriyaki? Add slices of fresh (not bottled or candied) ginger root and a couple tablespoons of rice wine vinegar.
Satay? Add red pepper flakes and creamy peanut butter (again, to taste) to the liquid and take it for a spin in a blender.
