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.

any comments from people who have tried the maple syrup salmon? It sounds good too me also but 40 comments from people who think it sounds great doesn’t mean a thing until they make it and report their like or dislike of the recipe.
Hi Mark, i did have one person tweet thanking me for the recipe as they had tried it.
I love salmon and this looks delicious. Thanks for sharing. I saved to Yumprint.
I wasn’t a fan of salmon until I tried it with maple. It is amazing.
I like salmon on the BBQ – cooked on a cedar plank. So yummy!!
Yummy a little sweet and salty,I love it !
I seen this around the web is it really good? I was wondering about the maple flavour, we usually have butter, onions, garlic cloves, salt and pepper in tin foil in the BBQ, 30 min per side but would love to try a new recipe!
This looks delish! i have never tried salmon before, but going to be trying this 🙂

A different way to cook salmon. I do the usual, dill and butter and lemon, but this recipe would be a nice change-up.
I’m just starting to enjoy fish, especially Salmon, and I will have to try this recipe, looks really good!
