MAPLE GARLIC SALMON



Maple Garlic Salmon image

I love this recipe because it is so easy & yummy for any busy work day. Preparation time includes the minimum marinade time, but the marinade can be done before leaving for work in the morning. This is easily scaled to marinate any amount of salmon. I make this often just for myself with only 1 nice salmon steak. Just use the 2:1 ratio of maple syrup to soy sauce, then add enough garlic and black pepper to suit your personal taste. Goes well with rice, string green beans or peas, too.

THE BEST MARINATED SALMON (OR STEELHEAD TROUT) WITH MAPLE WALNUT



The Best Marinated Salmon (Or Steelhead Trout) With Maple Walnut image

So I thought I was following another recipe, doing it from memory (and obviously my memory failed me) and voila - a new recipe was created! Good mistake this time! SO wonderful. If you like to hide the fishy taste of salmon/steelhead then this recipe is definitely for you! If you prefer yours more natural tasting, I recommend decreasing the marinating time to only 2 hours. Prep time listed does not include marinating time.

Provided by januarybride

Categories     Sweet

Time 30m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large salmon fillet (may sub steelhead trout)
1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (blood orange works well too)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons maple-flavored syrup (I used light butter flavored pancake syrup)
1/4 cup margarine (I used light margarine with no issues)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple-flavor syrup
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (may sub pecans)

Steps:

  • Place fish filet in a gallon resealable plastic bag.
  • Wisk together the OJ, soy sauce, honey and syrup.
  • Pour marinade over the fish, seal the bag, place it in a container (in case the bag has a small leak - you never know) and put it in the fridge to marinate.
  • I like mine VERY marinated, so I let mine marinate for 6 hours. 4 hours is probably a great starting point for the first time you make this recipe and then go up or down from there in the future based upon your taste buds.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • NOTE: If you fish has skin, then do not grease the foil. If your fish has had the skin removed, you MUST grease your foil.
  • Cut filet into 4-6 pieces (depending on the size of your filet), place fish on the baking sheet with the smaller pieces (such as the tail part) in the middle - and putting skin side down on the foil. Discard the marinade.
  • Cook fish at 350 degrees (uncovered) for approximately 20-30 minutes depending on how you prefer your fish cooked (20 minutes will be more medium while 30 minutes will be pretty well done).
  • About 5 minutes before the fish is done, you can warm up the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat just until the sugar is melted - then turn the heat to low.
  • Remove the fish from the oven, then remove each filet from the foil with a spatula (leaving the skin stuck to the foil), plate up the fish and pour the sauce over the top.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a vibrant color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or has a slimy texture.
  • Make sure the salmon is properly defrosted before marinating it. If you are using frozen salmon, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
  • Use a shallow dish or baking dish to marinate the salmon. This will allow the marinade to evenly coat the fish.
  • Turn the salmon once or twice during the marinating time. This will help the marinade to penetrate the fish evenly.
  • Don't marinate the salmon for too long. Over-marinating can make the fish tough.
  • Discard the marinade after you have used it. Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
  • Cook the salmon according to your desired doneness. Salmon can be cooked in a variety of ways, including baking, grilling, pan-frying, or poaching.

Conclusion:

Maple salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your maple salmon turns out perfect every time.

Here are some additional tips for cooking maple salmon:

  • Use a non-stick skillet or baking sheet to prevent the salmon from sticking.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat so that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Baste the salmon with the marinade during cooking to keep it moist.
  • Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Enjoy your delicious maple salmon!
