Maple Soy Glaze Recipes

SOY-MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce and garlic. Place salmon into a baking dish then pour maple syrup mixture evenly over salmon.
• Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, carefully rotating salmon once halfway through. Preheat oven to 400 degrees during last 10 minutes of marinating salmon.
• Spray a 13 by 9 inch baking dish with cooking spray then transfer marinated salmon into greased dish (don't discard marinade). Bake in preheated oven until salmon is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat slightly and allow to cook several minutes, stirring frequently, until reduced to 1/4 cup.
• Serve salmon warm with 1 Tbsp of the maple soy glaze drizzled over top and black pepper and green onions if desired (I don't think it needed salt because of the soy but feel free to add it if you think it needs it).

Close the lid on the grill, and whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, butter, lime juice, and lime zest. Baste the salmon with the glaze, and continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes total. Serve the salmon garnished with chopped fresh chives and lemon wedges.

• Run hands under chicken skin to loosen; rub most of butter under skin over breast and thighs. Rub remaining butter over outside of chicken. Sprinkle cavity with salt and pepper. Place chicken in roasting pan. Squeeze some juice from each orange piece over chicken. Stuff cavity with orange pieces, ginger, and garlic. Tuck wing tips under. Pour Sherry over chicken.
• Roast chicken 20 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water to pan. Roast 15 minutes longer. Brush chicken with glaze. Roast chicken until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 170°F, brushing chicken with glaze every 10 minutes, about 40 minutes longer. Tilt chicken to allow juices from cavity to run into roasting pan. Transfer chicken to platter. Let stand 10 minutes (internal temperature will rise).
• Spoon fat from surface of pan juices. Add any remaining glaze to pan juices. Place roasting pan over 2 burners; bring sauce to boil. Serve sauce alongside chicken.

CRISPY TOFU WITH MAPLE-SOY GLAZE

Steps:

• Drain tofu, then sandwich between several layers of kitchen towels to remove excess liquid. Cut into 9 cubes.
• Whisk soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, and ginger in a small bowl.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. When oil is rippling across the surface, carefully add tofu so it doesn't splash. Cook, undisturbed, until very crisp and dark brown underneath, 3-4 minutes. Carefully turn and repeat on opposite side. Holding tofu back with a spatula or slotted spoon, pour out oil into a small bowl. Return skillet to medium-high heat and add soy sauce mixture. Cook, reducing heat to medium so it doesn't over-reduce or burn and basting tofu occasionally, until glaze is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes.
• Divide tofu among plates. Drizzle with glaze, then top with scallions. Serve with rice alongside.
