Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles in adobo
4 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets

Steps:

Whisk syrup, soy sauce, and adobo in pie dish to blend. Add salmon; turn to coat. Let marinate 30 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain marinade into small saucepan.
Heat heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and cook until slightly charred outside and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, boil marinade until reduced to scant 1/4 cup sauce, about 4 minutes. Place 1 salmon fillet on each of 4 plates, drizzle with sauce, and serve.

Tips:

When choosing salmon, look for fillets that are firm and have a bright orange color. Avoid fillets that are dull or have brown spots.
To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, bring the marinade to a boil in a saucepan over high heat before reducing the heat to medium-low and simmering for 10 minutes.
When grilling the salmon, place the fillets skin-side down on a hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
To make the maple-soy glaze, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
Baste the salmon with the maple-soy glaze every few minutes during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Serve the salmon immediately with rice, vegetables, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

This maple-soy glazed salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade infuses the salmon with flavor, while the glaze adds a sweet and savory crust. Serve the salmon with rice, vegetables, or your favorite sides for a complete meal.
