SIMPLE SIMON MAPLE SALMON WITH PECANS



Simple Simon Maple Salmon with Pecans image

I have to really be in the mood for fish to tolerate it, especially ocean fish, as it always tastes WAY too "fishy" to me! So one night I came up with this, after searching tons of salmon recipes. No super expensive maple syrup needed, not too sweet with a little kick in the back, and about as easy-peasy as it gets!! Hope you...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs. fresh salmon, (mine was half of a fish/skin on)
1 cup maple syrup, i use mrs. butterworth's original thick and rich
1/2 cup soy sauce, regular or low sodium if watching salt intake
1 tsp. minced garlic, fresh or jarred
1/4 tsp. cayenne
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Cut salmon into serving-sized pieces, crosswise, about 3 inches wide or however you prefer. In small bowl, whisk rest of ingredients (except pecans) until well mixed. Put salmon pieces and maple mixture into a shallow dish or ziploc baggie to marinate. *Refrigerate while marinating. *I only got to marinate mine for about 5 hours, but next time, I'm going to marinate them overnight. Still good, but overnight would be even better! When ready to cook, remove from fridge, and remove salmon pieces from baggie saving the marinade. Place salmon into a greased/sprayed shallow baking dish, skin-side down. (I used a 13x9 and it fit really well.) Pour/spoon just a little marinade over each piece and pop into a pre-heated 375 degree oven. Pour the rest of the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat a tad, but keep at a nice steady boil, and stir occaisionally. Bake salmon for 30-35 minutes, depending on thickness, til done and flakes easily with a fork. *Halfway through baking the fish, carefully spoon a little more marinade over the fish. Not from the saucepan, but from the baking dish. Keep the marinade in the saucepan boiling to reduce til thickened. When fish is done, remove from oven and baste with juices again while you get everything else done and ready. If adding pecans, stir into saucepan of reduced marinade just before serving, or sprinkle on top of fish during last 1-2 minutes of baking. 2-3 minutes if wanting to do pecan halves. (Just watch so that they don't burn.) Plate the fish and pour your thickened sauce over the top. (I served even more of it in tiny bowls for dipping! )We had this with my buttery herbed rice and what a great dinner! Nothing else was even needed! (The sauce was great over the rice, too!)

MAPLE-BAKED SALMON



Maple-Baked Salmon image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is firm and has a deep pink or orange color. Avoid fillets that are pale or have brown spots.
  • Cook the salmon to perfection: Salmon is best cooked to medium or medium-rare. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky.
  • Use high-quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dish.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Maple salmon with pecans is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet maple glaze and crunchy pecans complement the rich flavor of the salmon perfectly. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
