MAPLE CURED SALMON

Steps:

• 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.

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.

• Sprinkle sesame seeds over top and broil for another 4 minutes or until the surface is caramelized and the salmon is no longer translucent in the centre.
