Today’s Dish: Spicy Maple Glazed Salmon

I’ve always loved experimenting with bold flavors in the kitchen, and today’s dish is no exception. This Spicy Maple Glazed Salmon is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a hint of smokiness that will leave your taste buds wanting more. Whether you’re looking to impress dinner guests or simply treat yourself to a special meal, this recipe is sure to hit the spot.

Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (approx. 600g)
• maple syrup (100ml)
• soy sauce (50ml)
• sriracha sauce (30ml)
• smoked paprika (10g)
• garlic powder (5g)
• salt and pepper to taste
• chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• brush
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the maple glaze generously over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Reserve some of the glaze for basting later.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, baste the salmon with the reserved glaze to add an extra layer of flavor.

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors in every bite.

This Spicy Maple Glazed Salmon weighs approximately 720g once cooked and serves 4. Each serving is around 180g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the salmon in the maple glaze for an hour before baking to really let the flavors sink in. This will elevate the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.

I hope you give this Spicy Maple Glazed Salmon a try and make it your own with any personal twists you’d like to add. It’s a dish that never fails to impress and is perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
