MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, dill, garlic salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Place salmon in a shallow baking dish and coat with the maple syrup mixture. Cover dish and marinate salmon in the refrigerator, turning once, about 30 minutes.
• Bake salmon, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 25 minutes.

SPICED MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Combine the paprika, chili powder, ancho, cumin, garlic powder, and brown sugar.
• Place salmon on lightly sprayed baking dish or tray.
• Sprinkle the fillets with the salt, then rub with the spice mixture.
• Combine melted butter and maple syrup, then drizzle each fillet with a bit of the mixture; sprinkle each with a bit of green onion.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it flakes with a fork.
• Serve with rice or orzo pasta and steamed green vegetables like broccoli, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), bok choy, or green beans, drizzled with bottled fish or oyster sauce.
• Note: ancho chile powder is available through many Latin markets or at Penzey's online. See http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysancho.html If you don't have ancho, but do have smoked Spanish paprika, try adding a bit of that! :).

SARASOTA'S SPICY MAPLE, BROWN SUGAR AND BOURBON GLAZE

Steps:

• Roasted Pepper -- This is the first thing I make. Heat the oven to 450 and put the pepper right on the middle rack and roast until good and charred on all sides. Remove and wrap with a small piece of plastic wrap. After 5 minutes or so, remove the pepper, peel the skin off, remove the ribs and seeds and fine chop.
• Sauce -- To a small pot, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Add in the shallot, garlic and jalapeno (you can use 1/2 of the minced pepper if you don't want it too hot) but the roasted pepper has a mild flavor. Cook on medium just until the onion is translucent, you don't want to brown them. Then, deglaze the pan with the bourbon. Don't forget to remove the pot from the stove top when you add any alcohol. Return to the stove, reduce the heat to medium low/low and cook, 30 seconds if that. Add in the brown sugar, maple syrup, a pinch of the red pepper and a pinch of salt. Bring the sauce to a low boil (not rolling) and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
• Done -- The sauce will be thin, but will thicken upon cooling. When you remove the sauce from the heat, taste for any additional seasoning. Once it thickens, it will coat the back of a spoon. Make sure to use the glaze cooled.
• Options -- If you want, you can add in pecans at this point, but that is just an option. Just brush on the fish, meat or chicken as it bakes or grills. ENJOY!
