MAPLE CURED SALMON

Salmon is probably my favourite fish & I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. This recipe came from the Maple Restaurant in Halifax Nova Scotia & was created by Michael Smith (Chef At Large on the Food Network). Note overnight marinating is required!

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups maple syrup
2 tablespoons sea salt
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
8 ounces Chardonnay wine
1/2 cup whole grain mustard
8 ounces cream
1 cup chopped chives

Steps:

  • Whisk syrup and salt in small bowl until well combined.
  • Place salmon in a container just big enough to hold them in a single layer.
  • Pour syrup mixture over top, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove salmon from the brine and place on a roasting rack.
  • Let it drain briefly; bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5- 7 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish).
  • To judge doneness, squeeze the fish or prod with a thin-bladed knife.
  • The flesh should just begin to flake and will be moist and juicy inside.
  • Meanwhile, place Chardonnay, mustard and cream into a small pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 8- 10 minutes to allow liquid to reduce and sauce to thicken.
  • Reserve& keep hot while the salmon cooks.
  • Just before serving, add the chives and swirl to combine.

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.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1 1/2-pound) skin-on or skinless salmon fillet
12 fresh cilantro sprigs
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving

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.

This maple salmon is special because it comes from my mom, both my children like it and it's easy to prepare. I serve this recipe with rice and broccoli. The sauce tastes great on the rice. -Danielle Rothe, Greenville, New York

Categories     main-dish

Time 41m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
1/4 cup coarsely ground black pepper (Grind it yourself, or purchase "cracked" pepper at your grocery store)
1/2 teaspoon peanut (or other vegetable) oil, or a spritz of oil spray

Steps:

  • In a re-sealable bag or a small deep bowl, mix maple syrup and soy sauce. Arrange fillets so that marinade completely covers fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for as long possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 24 hours to do it justice).
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  • Rub oil on a 10 by 10-inch sheet of aluminum foil.
  • Place pepper on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and pat topside only into cracked pepper to coat. Place fillets, pepper side up, on foil.
  • Bake on the top rack of the oven for approximately 7 minutes. (Syrup may cause fish to smoke when cooking, do not be alarmed.) Salmon can also be grilled directly over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side. But do not even think about using a microwave. Avoid overcooking the fillets. Salmon is best when the color has turned to a pale pink, but the fish is still moist throughout. Serve immediately on warmed plates.
