4.88 14 Published Aug 07, 2024, Updated Nov 05, 2024 We love serving this maple glazed salmon for dinner with a side of rice or quinoa and some sort of veggie like these sautéed green beans or roasted broccoli, but it’s delicious however you serve it!
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Flavorful – There’s something about the salty and sweet flavor combo! It’s so delicious! Quick & Easy – The prep and cooking are both super quick! Just marinate for 20-30 minutes and broil in less than 10. You’ll have dinner on the table in no time. Versatile – Serve this salmon for dinner with a grain of choice and a side salad or roasted veggies like this easy spinach salad or roasted sweet potatoes.
salmon – you’ll want two 6 oz evenly sized filets of salmon with the skin on. I recommend getting individual filets from your grocer but don’t be afraid of frozen filets, either! Flash frozen fish can be just as healthy. Just make sure the salmon is thawed if you are using frozen filets. tamari, soy sauce or coconut aminos – all of these options work well, I just recommend using low sodium so the end product isn’t too salty. There’s no need for added salt thanks to the tamari/soy sauce. maple syrup – can’t have maple glazed salmon without maple syrup! This adds a nice sweetness that balances the rest of the flavors perfectly. Make sure you get pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup as that will have corn syrup and a ton of added sugars. lemon juice – this will brighten all of the flavors in the dish. I recommend using freshly squeezed lemon juice as opposed to store-bought. fresh garlic and ginger – two great flavor enhancers to this marinade. ground pepper – to season the dish.
How to Make Maple Glazed Salmon
How to Serve
This is such a great recipe because it pairs with so many different sides! I love serving it with a grain and a veggie but feel free to get creative! Here are some ideas:
Rice: Brown rice, quinoa or cauliflower rice. Salad: This maple glazed salmon would taste great paired with my garlicky kale salad or arugula salad. Veggies: We love pairing salmon with roasted veggies like sautéed vegetables, roasted carrots, roasted brussels sprouts, air fryer zucchini or air fryer vegetables.
How to Store Leftovers
This salmon will keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I recommend reheating in the oven or toaster oven for the best results!
