I am a salmon lover. This is a great recipe for a slightly exotic flavor of Indian inspiration with a maple twist. The flavor is exceptional, delicious, and unique. Orange zest may be added for an extra flavor twist.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 (1 1/2-pound) skin-on salmon fillet
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Dill sprigs (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 275°F. Whisk oil, maple syrup, and cardamom in a small bowl. Place salmon in a large baking dish and brush with cardamom syrup on all sides. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
  • Season each side of salmon with 1 tsp. salt. Bake until salmon is firm but still pink in the center, 22-25 minutes (if you prefer salmon more well done, cook an additional 5 minutes).
  • Flake salmon into large pieces and arrange on a platter. Top with dill, if using.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible. Look for fillets that are firm and have a vibrant color. Avoid fish that looks dull or has any off-putting odors.
  • Use high-quality maple syrup. Pure maple syrup has a more intense flavor than processed syrup and will help to create a delicious glaze.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and tough if it is cooked for too long. Aim to cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best enjoyed when it is fresh out of the oven. If you are making it ahead of time, reheat it gently in a low oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

This cardamom maple salmon recipe is a delicious and easy way to prepare salmon. The cardamom and maple syrup add a unique and flavorful glaze to the fish, and the salmon itself is cooked to perfection. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy way to prepare salmon, give this cardamom maple salmon recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
