We scored one awesome package of salmon recently, and wanted to change up how we cooked it. Usually I use some butter and spices, yet this time I wanted more of a sweet taste.
Hubby suggested I make my Maple Salmon recipe, and it was perfection! Luckily I had some time to marinate the salmon, but for the time-crunched, you really only have to do so for 30 minutes. Trust me, it’s worth the time taken.
The result isn’t as sweet as you’d think, and it definitely doesn’t take away from the salmon-taste. It just gives it a bit more sweet flavour, yet if you have some juices on your plate and really rub it in before eating, that’s when you get that full maple taste.

Also the scent that fills the house when cooking, is simply divine. Luckily, you don’t have to wait too long though, it really is a quick and easy recipe to make.
Wanting a lighter meal on this night, we served our salmon with only a fresh tossed salad, yet you could add some rice as well. You bake salmon until it flakes, yet I kept it in the oven just a couple minutes more, to really glaze and allow the marinate to bake right on there.

My son love Salmon. I don’t usually make it. I will have to try this version for him.
We love to grill salamon! I can’t wait until we can catch some fresh fish this summer!
Sounds like an interesting recipe for those who like fish.
This look so delicious! We eat a lot of fish in our home and I’m always trying to find new ways to make it tasty! I’ll be trying this recipe soon.
My kids and husband love salmon BBQ’d with a bit of mayonnaise and seasoning.
This sounds like a great combination that my husband would love for dinner!! I never thought to try maple syrup with Salmon like this before.
I’ve been grilling fish a lot more recently. It’s delicious, but I need to mix it up a little. This sounds delightful!
Salmon and maple sound like a wonderful combination! I look forward to trying this.

My husband and kids love Salmon! I have never made it but this sounds like it would be a great recipe to make it at home for dinner.
I usually broil salmon in the oven in tin foil with a little olive oil and seasonings. I love your idea with the sweet flavor, I bet I would like the maple with the fish!
We are not big fish people in this house, this looks amazing though. Great way to put sweet and savory together! I might do it with chicken instead!
