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.
SWEDISH SALMON
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425. Rinse salmon, pat dry. Pour kosher salt into bottom of shallow roasting pan, smooth out into a layer .25 inches thick. Place salmon, skin-side down, on salt; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in center of oven 35-45 minutes. Squeeze lemon over cooked salmon. Serve with a light condiment such as wasabi mayonnaise, lemon-yogurt sauce, or mint yogurt dressing. Absolutely fool-proof and utterly healthy. Delicious cold as an hors-d'oeuvre.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon whenever possible, as it has a more intense flavor and higher nutritional value.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This includes the salmon, herbs, and vegetables.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become dry and overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a flavorful marinade: A marinade can help to infuse the salmon with flavor and keep it moist during cooking. Try a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
- Serve with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can help to elevate the dish and make it more enjoyable. Try a classic dill sauce, a creamy lemon sauce, or a simple butter sauce.
Conclusion:
Swedish salmon is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, there is a Swedish salmon recipe that is perfect for you.
