Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Place salmon fillets into a medium container and pour the maple syrup mixture on top to fully coat. Cover and place in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. (You can also marinate the salmon in a large ziploc back. Add in all ingredients and then press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Press the marinade around the salmon to coat).
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 F. Then, remove the marinated salmon fillets out of the container and place them skin side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Keep the marinade sauce to brush on later.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until cooked through and flaky. Brush the reserved marinade over the salmon halfway through baking for extra flavour.
- Transfer the salmon fillets onto a plate and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top (optional) and serve warm over steamed rice or some creamy mashed potatoes.

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!

SWEDISH MAPLE SALMON
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.

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.

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:
- To ensure the salmon is evenly cooked, use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate the salmon fillets in a single layer.
- For a crispier skin, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels before cooking.
- If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or brown sugar.
- To add a bit of extra flavor, sprinkle the salmon fillets with lemon zest or chopped fresh herbs before baking.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
This Swedish Maple Salmon recipe is a simple and delicious way to prepare salmon. The combination of maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and herbs creates a flavorful glaze that perfectly complements the salmon. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
