Maple Glazed Salmon Fillet

Salmon is such a tasty, healthy, and easy fish to cook. With its robust flavor, adding glazes and marinades suits it well. Here, the salmon is glazed with maple syrup and soy, providing the ideal sweet and savory combination.

The marinade takes only 20 minutes and when cooked in a hot pan, the glaze crisps up and slightly caramelizes resulting in a delightful color and texture. With the addition of garlic, ginger, and a dash of chili pepper this dish will is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Here the salmon is cooked on a griddle or frying pan but works just as well when cooked on the grill, as long as the coal or flame is not too high. If the flame is too high, you will run the risk of burning the sweet glaze of the fish. You can serve it with rice and fresh veggies or mix it in with some salad.
