MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON
Delicious maple-glazed salmon is a little on the sweet side, but not too much. The whole house smells wonderful when this is cooking; it's a great warm winter meal! I have a hard time finding good recipes my family likes with fish, since my husband is not fond of lemon. This is a perfect compromise!

Steps:
- In a re-sealable bag or a small deep bowl, mix maple syrup and soy sauce. Arrange fillets so that marinade completely covers fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for as long possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 24 hours to do it justice).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Rub oil on a 10 by 10-inch sheet of aluminum foil.
- Place pepper on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and pat topside only into cracked pepper to coat. Place fillets, pepper side up, on foil.
- Bake on the top rack of the oven for approximately 7 minutes. (Syrup may cause fish to smoke when cooking, do not be alarmed.) Salmon can also be grilled directly over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side. But do not even think about using a microwave. Avoid overcooking the fillets. Salmon is best when the color has turned to a pale pink, but the fish is still moist throughout. Serve immediately on warmed plates.

MAPLE-BAKED SALMON
Salmon baked at a low temperature until medium-rare delivers a silky texture that tastes special enough to make it a festive centerpiece. This easy dish works any night of the week, since it comes together in less than half an hour. Maple syrup sweetens the glaze, which gets a savory pop from whole mustard seeds in Dijon. Even though salmon is naturally fatty, a dollop of mayonnaise adds extra richness while thickening the glaze to help it seal onto the fish. The herbaceous aroma of cilantro stems baked into the sauce brightens the dish, as do tender leaves scattered on top. Fill out your feast with any combination of steamed rice, roasted potatoes, green beans or salad.

Steps:
- Remove salmon from the refrigerator. Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Bundle the cilantro sprigs by their stems and hold them tightly, then slice the stems crosswise until you get to the leaves. Reserve leaves for garnish. Transfer sliced stems to a small bowl and stir in the maple syrup, mustard and mayonnaise until well mixed.
- Season the salmon all over with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish, skin-side down if there is skin. Slather the maple sauce all over the top.
- Bake until a paring knife slides into the center with only a little resistance, 15 to 20 minutes. When you remove the knife and touch the blade to your upper lip, it should feel very warm but not hot. The salmon will continue to heat through out of the oven while in the baking dish. Top with the reserved cilantro leaves, and squeeze lemon wedges all over just before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
- Use high-quality maple syrup. Pure maple syrup will have a rich, amber color and a slightly sweet, smoky flavor. Avoid pancake syrup or other imitation maple syrups, as they will not taste as good.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it quickly over high heat. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon bites immediately. Salmon bites are best served hot out of the oven. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can cook them and then refrigerate them for up to 2 days. When you are ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
Conclusion:
Maple pepper salmon bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The combination of sweet maple syrup and spicy black pepper creates a flavor that is both unique and addictive. These salmon bites are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
