Maple-Glazed Salmon

Ok, I've made this one twice recently with frozen wild caught Atlantic Salmon that I bought at Trader Joe's. I kind of made it up and adapted from a few recipes. We also switched over to cast iron cookware recently which really makes this perfectly! If you prep the glaze and seasoning ahead of time, it literally just takes minutes and is super yummy! I served with brown rice and brocolli.




Maple-Glazed Salmon



INGREDIENTS

1 TBS oil (I use coconut)

1/4 tsp all-natural liquid smoke

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 TBS cider vinegar

4 salmon fillets, skin removed

2 tsp My Seafood Seasoning (see below)



DIRECTIONS

Move your oven rack to the top and pre-heat the broiler on high.



In a small pot, bring the liquid smoke, maple syrup and vinegar to a boil and reduce over high heat, stirring for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.



Season both sides of the salmon with My Seafood Seasoning.



Heat oil in a large, ovensafe skillet on medium-high. Cook the seasoned fish top-side down for 3-4 minutes.



Turn fish over and pour the maple glaze over the top and place on top rack under broiler for 3 minutes.



MY SEAFOOD SEASONING

1 TBS Black pepper

1 TBS Dry mustard

2 TBS Sea salt

1 1/2 TBS Ground bay leaves

1 1/2 tsp Nutmeg

1 tsp Cloves

1 tsp Ground ginger

1 tsp Paprika

1 tsp Cayenne pepper



Combine all ingredients and seal in jar. You will not use it all for this recipe once.
