Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

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.
