Maple Salmon With Mushroom Couscous Recipes

MAPLE SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, garlic salt, and pepper.
• Place salmon in a shallow glass baking dish, and coat with the maple syrup mixture. Cover the dish, and marinate salmon in the refrigerator 30 minutes, turning once.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake salmon uncovered 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork.

MAPLE-BAKED SALMON

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.

MAPLE-MUSTARD SALMON WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Turn on broiler, if using, and cover broiler pan with aluminum foil.
• Mix the vinegar, mustard, maple syrup and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
• Wash and dry the salmon, and place in the marinade, turning to coat.
• Prepare stove-top grill, if using. Grill salmon on both sides, following the Canadian rule: measure salmon at thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch.
• Peel and cube mango; heat the remaining marinade until it boils.
• When salmon is cooked, top with heated marinade and mango and serve.
