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.
SPICY SALMON WITH WARM MAPLE GLAZE
Rachael Ray's recipe for Chipotle Cashew Chicken inspired me to create this dish. Her recipe calls for chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Having none on hand, I combined some smoky and hot spices to improvise. The maple glaze gives the salmon just the right balance of sweet and spicy. It is an easy, quick recipe that could be served any night of the week or is elegant enough to be served at a dinner party. I oven-roasted mine, but it would also be excellent grilled.
