Irresistible Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe

Mouthwatering Maple Glazed Salmon

Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest culinary creation: mouthwatering maple glazed salmon. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special dinner with loved ones. The sweet and savory flavors of the maple glaze perfectly complement the tender and flaky salmon. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (4 fillets, approximately 600g)
• maple syrup (1/2 cup)
• soy sauce (2 tbsp)
• garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• frying pan
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the maple glaze. Reserve some of the glaze for later. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.

While the salmon is baking, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the reserved maple glaze to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. This will be used as a finishing glaze for the salmon.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and brush it with the additional glaze from the frying pan. Serve the maple glazed salmon hot, with your choice of sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

The cooked dish weighs approximately 700g, serves 4, with each serving weighing around 175g. Each serving contains approximately 250 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts over the glazed salmon before baking for an added crunch and nutty flavor.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this mouthwatering maple glazed salmon. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite herbs or spices to make it your own. Happy cooking!
