Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years.

Maple Salmon

[heart_this] · Apr 1, 2009 · 66 Comments

Maple Salmon

While I was looking for new maple dishes to try I came across a recipe for maple salmon on allrecipes.com . The recipe immediately caught my attention as it reminded me of my all time favorite salmon dish, salmon teriyaki . This maple salmon is very similar to the salmon teriyaki in that they are both marinated in a sweet and salty sauce and then broiled until just cooked. In fact I have used maple syrup as the sweetener in teriyaki sauce instead of sugar before so this recipe seemed pretty natural to me. One of the best things about salmon recipes like this is that they are so easy to make. You just marinate the salmon for 20 or so minutes and then broil for a few minutes. So little effort for such great reward! The maple salmon turned out great! The sweet and salty sauce went really well with the moist and juicy salmon which seemed to almost melt in your mouth. I really like the way the maple flavour worked in this dish. I will definitely be making this again!

    Do you think this would work with tilapia or haddock? The hubs and I are not salmon fans (sorry, sorry)but the flavor sounds amazing.

    What I like about this is that it only calls for 1/4 cup maple syrup for 4lbs of salmon, and no oil. A lot of similar recipes for sweet fish or chicken seem to call for a lot more syrup (or sugar, honey, etc) per serving and contain some oil as well. This seems relatively light, and I imagine it still has plenty of flavor. Looking forwards to trying it!

    I just got back from Costco with a beautiful Salmon piece and wa..la.. you have a sweet tasting recipe. I make a salmon very similar to this- with the exception of some paprika, ancho chille powder spices and the maple on top of that. Not sure if that’s how I want to make my salmon tonight though, I’m looking for a new take recipe. My husband loves heat, which makes it a little difficult.
