In a small bowl, whisk together the cider syrup, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, oil and pepper.
In a shallow baking dish, arrange the salmon steaks in a single layer.
Pour the cider mixture over the steaks, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning the steaks once.
Preheat the grill and oil it for grilling the steaks (or use a fish basket). Remove the steaks to a platter.
Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and cook until the glaze reduces by half.
Brush one side of the steaks with the glaze. Place the steaks on the grill, glazed side down, and grill them for 5 to 6 minutes.
Brush more glaze on top of each steak. Turn the steaks and grill them for 5 to 6 more minutes.
½ cup apple cider
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
½ tsp. cracked black pepper
