Maple Crusted Salmon Recipes

MAPLE PECAN CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the maple syrup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and ground mustard. Stir over medium heat until the mixture is warmed through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
• While the marinade is cooling, pour the pecans into a dry skillet and heat over medium heat, tossing frequently, until golden and toasted. Remove from heat; let the pecans cool to room temperature and then chop finely.
• Place the salmon fillets in a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Pour the maple marinade over the salmon, coating the salmon pieces evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the toasted, chopped pecans on a plate or shallow pie dish. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator. Dip the top side of each salmon fillet in the pecan crumbs pressing the salmon lightly into the pecans so they adhere to the top of the salmon. Place the fillets pecan-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the salmon with a pinch of salt.
• Bake the salmon for 20-22 minutes until cooked through but still tender inside (not overcooked). The salmon should flake easily with a fork but still be soft and not dry. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.

MAPLE BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place salmon fillets in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, syrup, soy sauce, mustard and pepper. Pour over salmon., Cover and bake 10 minutes. Uncover and bake 8-10 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork. Sprinkle with almonds if desired.

PEPPER-CRUSTED MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• In a re-sealable bag or a small deep bowl, mix maple syrup and soy sauce. Arrange fillets so that marinade completely covers fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for as long possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 24 hours to do it justice).
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• Rub oil on a 10 by 10-inch sheet of aluminum foil.
• Place pepper on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and pat topside only into cracked pepper to coat. Place fillets, pepper side up, on foil.
• Bake on the top rack of the oven for approximately 7 minutes. (Syrup may cause fish to smoke when cooking, do not be alarmed.) Salmon can also be grilled directly over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side. But do not even think about using a microwave. Avoid overcooking the fillets. Salmon is best when the color has turned to a pale pink, but the fish is still moist throughout. Serve immediately on warmed plates.

MAPLE-CRUSTED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, sugar, and salt.
• Generously sprinkle the chili powder mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
• Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and broil for 6-9 minutes, depending on how thick your fillets are and how crispy you prefer the crust.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the maple syrup over the tops to coat the spice rub. Return to the oven and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes until the maple syrup is bubbling and has formed a crust. Serve immediately.

MAPLE CURED SALMON

• Whisk syrup and salt in small bowl until well combined.
• Place salmon in a container just big enough to hold them in a single layer.
• Pour syrup mixture over top, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove salmon from the brine and place on a roasting rack.
• Let it drain briefly; bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5- 7 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish).
• To judge doneness, squeeze the fish or prod with a thin-bladed knife.
• The flesh should just begin to flake and will be moist and juicy inside.
• Meanwhile, place Chardonnay, mustard and cream into a small pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 8- 10 minutes to allow liquid to reduce and sauce to thicken.
• Reserve& keep hot while the salmon cooks.
• Just before serving, add the chives and swirl to combine.
