Maple Glazed Salmon
Maple Glazed Salmon is a harmonious blend of sweet and savory, perfect for a quick yet impressive meal. With just 30 minutes from start to finish, this dish delivers restaurant-quality flavors without the hassle.
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon skinned and cut into filets
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 Tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno seeds removed
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh preferred)
Instructions
- Pat salmon with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Whisk together maple syrup, mustard, jalapeno, garlic, and paprika until well-combined.
- Set a 10” skillet over medium heat. Add syrup mixture and heat until warm, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add salmon, skinned side down, to pan. Use a spoon to ladle the maple sauce over the surface of the salmon periodically as it cooks.
- Once salmon is mostly cooked through (about 6 minutes), add pineapple to the pan in an even layer and transfer skillet to broiler.
- Broil until salmon is cooked through (salmon should flake easily with a fork). To create a better glaze coating, remove the skillet from the broiler after 1 or 2 minutes and ladle sauce over again before returning to oven.
- Serve immediately, we serve ours with rice and broccoli.
