Swedish Maple Salmon image

I took a recipe for Swedish Maple Cookies and put a spin on it to create this wonderful sweet topping for grilled salmon; when we were in Sweden, salmon was on every menu, whether it was cured, smoked, baked, poached, or grilled. Being someone who "tolerates" salmon in a house full of those who adore it, I find that I prefer my salmon sweet rather than savory. Recipe developed for ZWT6 Team SSaSSy with Scandinavia in mind! NOTE: You will have quite a bit of butter leftover which would be amazing on toast or a bagel; feel free to half the amount of butter if you just want to make what you need for the recipe.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup softened salted butter
1/4 teaspoon maple extract (Mapleine if you are in Sweden)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon corn syrup (I used a light, lower calorie version and it worked great)
1 1/2 lbs atlantic salmon, cut into 4 servings
8 tablespoons chopped candied walnuts (may sub regular walnuts)

Steps:

  • Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
  • Cream together first five ingredients with a hand mixer (or food processor) and leave at room temperature.
  • Preheat grill to medium (about 350-375 degrees).
  • Season with salt and coat with olive oil. Oil the grill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the clean, preheated grill.
  • Cook the salmon for 5 minutes. As the salmon cooks it will turn from translucent orange to pink.
  • Turn the salmon over and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • NOTE: I cooked mine in the oven in a grill packet for 15 minutes at 350 degrees and it was perfect. I also remove the skin prior to cooking when I use an oven vs. the grill.
  • Remove salmon from the grill and put on individual serving plates (skin side down. .or you can remove the skin before serving).
  • Top each piece of salmon with a few dollops of the butter you made (this will melt and become your sauce) and top each with 2 T walnuts.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The salmon was cooked well, but the maple glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This recipe was a disaster. The salmon was overcooked and the maple glaze was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the salmon turned out great! I didn't have any maple syrup on hand, so I used honey instead. It was still delicious.

This Swedish Maple Salmon recipe was a hit! The salmon turned out perfectly cooked, with a crispy skin and flaky flesh. The maple glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I will definitely be making this again.
