Swedish Maple Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Marinate the 2 salmon fillets in mixture of 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1/4 cup of soy sauce for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
• Remove from refrigerator, spoon out marinade into a saucepan and reduce over medium-low heat until you're left with about half the original volume (about 10 minutes).
• Broil the fillets in a lightly oiled pan for about four minutes, skin side up.
• Flip the fillets over and brush the flesh side liberally with the reduced marinade.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds over top and broil for another 4 minutes or until the surface is caramelized and the salmon is no longer translucent in the centre.

Steps:

• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
• Cream together first five ingredients with a hand mixer (or food processor) and leave at room temperature.
• Preheat grill to medium (about 350-375 degrees).
• Season with salt and coat with olive oil. Oil the grill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the clean, preheated grill.
• Cook the salmon for 5 minutes. As the salmon cooks it will turn from translucent orange to pink.
• Turn the salmon over and cook for another 5 minutes.
• NOTE: I cooked mine in the oven in a grill packet for 15 minutes at 350 degrees and it was perfect. I also remove the skin prior to cooking when I use an oven vs. the grill.
• Remove salmon from the grill and put on individual serving plates (skin side down. .or you can remove the skin before serving).
• Top each piece of salmon with a few dollops of the butter you made (this will melt and become your sauce) and top each with 2 T walnuts.

Steps:

• Remove the backbone and other bones from the salmon and cut in half lengthwise.
• Combine the salt, sugar and pepper and rub over the insides of the fish.
• Place one piece, skin side down, in a large bowl or serving dish.
• Place the dill over the salmon. Top with the other piece of fish, skin side up.
• Place a heavy platter over the salmon and weight it down.
• Refrigerate, covered, for 24 hours. Turn the fish once or twice during this time.
• When finished, remove the salmon from the dish and scrape off the seasonings and dill.
• Cut off skin and slice the salmon diagonally into thin slices.
• Serve salmon.
• For Gravlaxsas: Combine the mustard, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and mix well together to make a paste. Slowly add the oil, beating well after each addition. Beat until the sauce is the consistency of mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper and add the dill. Makes 1/2 cup.

Steps:

• For the salmon, heat vegetable oil on medium-high in a cast-iron skillet.
• For the broccoli, fill a medium pot halfway with water. Add a dash of salt and start boiling water.
• In the meantime, whisk together maple syrup, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Set aside 2 tablespoons for topping later.
• Place salmon fillets inside the bowl and make sure each side is covered with sauce.
• Sear the salmon 2-3 minutes on each side.
• Brush the tops with the sauce set aside.
• With the pot of water boiling, add the broccoli and cover lid. Blanch for 2 minutes.
• Drain under cold water to stop the cooking.
• In the drained pot of broccoli, stir in butter, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, some lemon zest, and garlic on low heat. Mix until broccoli is well-coated.
• On each plate, serve a filet of salmon and scoop of broccoli.
• Top with reserved marinade and sprinkle parsley for garnish.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place salmon in shallow dish. In bowl, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, lime juice, and spices. Pour half over salmon and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once.
• Place salmon on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in 450C (230C) oven, brushing halfway through with remaining marinade, until fish flakes easily when tested, about 10 minutes.
• Broil until glazed, about 3 minutes.
