Spicy Maple Glazed Salmon Recipes

BAKED SALMON WITH MAPLE MUSTARD GLAZE (5 INGREDIENT RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. If desired, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up.
• Place salmon on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, paprika, and pepper. Spoon about half of this mixture over the salmon in an even layer.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon on the rest of the maple mustard mixture.
• Return to oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reads 145ºF and fish flakes easily with a fork. (An internal temperature of 145ºF is my personal preference for salmon, but feel free to cook it to whatever temperature you like!). Enjoy immediately!

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! :).

SPICY MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• PREP: Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven too 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray (or brush with a little oil) and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the cayenne, onion powder, paprika, salt, and garlic powder.
• SALMON: Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with the prepared seasoning. Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Generally, you need to bake it about 4-5 minutes for every 1/2 inch of thickness. Remove from the oven, brush with the maple syrup and place back in the oven. Switch to the broiler setting and broil for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until bubbly and brown. Serve immediately with the salad.
