Here’s an easy recipe for salmon. You can cook it in the oven, but I prefer cooking mine on the grill. The spices impart a smoky flavor with some heat; and the maple syrup adds that little touch of sweet.
| Mom and Dad’s Maple-Glazed Salmon Adapted from Penzey’s Rating: 8 out of 10 PRINTABLE RECIPE |
| INGREDIENTS: 4 (6 oz.) salmon fillets 1 tsp. Hungarian sweet paprika (Szeged, preferably) 1 tsp. chili powder 1 tsp. ground ancho pepper (I used chipotle) 1/2 tsp. ground cumin 1/2 tsp. brown sugar About 1 tsp. sea salt 1 tsp. pure maple syrup (I used 1 Tbsp.) Rinse fillets under cool running water; pat dry with paper towels. Combine spices and sugar. Sprinkle the fish with the sea salt; rub with the spice mixture. Place salmon on broiler rack lined with tinfoil or coated with cooking spray. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle with maple syrup about 1 minute before fish is cooked. For grill: Place salmon, skin side down, on hot grill (about 400-425F) over indirect heat. Cook for about 8 minutes, or till fish is done. (Note: Salmon is best when it’s slightly undercooked, or red in the middle. It will continue to cook as it sits.) |

This looks like a very good sauce to put over salmon. I like the that the recipe calls for ancho chile, which adds a nice mild smokiness.
Second post I've been to about maple glazed salmon today! I've been craving it..
Wow - maple and cumin? Yes please!
I loooove the appearance of that salmon! Look so tempting!

Maple and salmon? Perfect pair. Sounds like a great recipe.
It looks terrific! ...and sounds even better...thanks for the recipe!
I have a recipe that is similar (that I love) but I think yours sounds better. I am going to have to try it! Beautiful picture.
That is a beautiful sauce to use for fish. Full of flavor and just look at that color! wow.
I haven't made salmon at home yet, but this sauce sounds delicious and with great flavor.
Sending this to my brother. I think he'll be mad for it!
I made a maple glazed salmon once but it was way too sweet. I think yours looks much better because of all the spices that are involved - looks fantastic!
