This maple glazed salmon recipe is so simple to make and it's perfect for one of those busy nights when you don't have a lot of time to get dinner on the table. Deliciously sweet maple syrup combine wonderfully with fresh garlic, ground ginger and a touch of soy sauce as a marinade for the salmon.

I hope you enjoy this recipe! ❤️ If you give it a try, please let me know how it turned out for you in the comments section at the bottom of the page or share a pic of your om noms on Instagram and tag @dishesanddustbunnies! ❤️

Have you ever had something so delicious that you can't stop thinking about it day after day, week after week?

In today's post, I'm sharing with you one of the recipes that my family craves and asks for over and over again and never get tired of – we love this recipe so much that I serve it at least every other week.

Before sharing this recipe with you, I spent quite a while testing it to make sure that it was just right, and I think I've hit the mark this time for sure!

You can also play around with the ingredient amounts to suit your personal taste when you make this recipe. I sometimes like to add a little extra garlic and little extra ginger to give the recipe a bit more zip.

If you do make any adjustments, be sure to keep the maple syrup and soy sauce ratios about the same to keep the right balance of salty and sweet.

Serve this deliciously flaky and succulent salmon along with some rice and veggies (like we do), or try it with a baked potato and some fresh salad. Whatever way you choose to serve this salmon Will certainly be a winner!

What are the basic ingredients for Maple Glazed Salmon?

The ingredients used to make this recipe are so simple you most likely will have everything already at home! The basic ingredients used in maple glazed salmon include maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, a little ground ginger and some black pepper. 

How to make Maple Glazed Salmon – Overview

Delicious homemade maple glazed salmon is super easy to make! You can find detailed instructions in the recipe at the bottom of the page, but first, here is a little overview of how it's done:

Beginning placing the salmon fillet in a baking dish. Sprinkle it with garlic, ground ginger and black pepper. Next combine the soy sauce and maple syrup and pour over top of the salmon. You can marinate the salmon its seasonings for about 30 minutes to get the best flavour. 

Cook the salmon in the oven for about 15-20 minutes on the broil setting. While it's cooking, check on it a couple times and be sure to spoon some of the maple glaze over top.

How do I know when my Salmon is done cooking?

You'll know when your salmon has finished cooking when the top has become golden and the texture becomes flaky. when checked with a meat thermometer salmon is fully cooked when it reaches 145°F.

What is the white stuff coming out of the salmon when it's cooked?

If you notice “white stuff” coming out of your salmon when it's cooking, don't worry! It's perfectly normal and doesn't mean anythingis wrong with your salmon. It's completely harmless and safe to eat.

The “white stuff” is a natural protein called albumin and is in liquid form when the fish is raw. Once the fish is cooked, this proetin will escape through its surface, thicken up and become semi solid. According to food network, most of the time albumin will form on salman that's been overcooked or cooked too quickly, but it's not a big deal if it happens – it'll still be yummy!

Can I eat salmon skin?

Salmon skin so super yummy! Of course, you can eat salmon skin! It's absolutely delicious and so flavourful, plus it's packed with all sorts of healthy nutrients like Omega 3 fatty acids, which are known for helping to prevent heart disease.

How long is leftover salmon be good for?

When I make this recipe, there are typically never any leftovers! If you do happen to have any leftover salmon, it will be good for about 2 days when stored in the refrigerator.
When stored in the freezer, it should be good for about two months.

Can leftover maple glazed salmon be reheated?

I find that the best way to reheat leftover salmon is in the oven. Put your leftover salmon in a baking dish (covered to keep in the moisture) and bake for about 15 -20 minutes at 350°F.

Here are some yummy ideas on what to serve with your maple glazed salmon:

  • rice, any kind is great!

Maple Glazed Salmon


  • Author: Michelle Dunster – DishesAndDustBunnies.com
  • Total Time: 8 minute
  • Yield: 1 lb Salmon = 4 servings 1x
Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. salmon fillet
  • 1/4 cup Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • Pinch of ground ginger – or more to taste
  • Pinch of pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the salmon in a glass baking dish and sprinkle with garlic, ginger and pepper.
  2. Combine the soy sauce and in maple syrup in a small measuring cup and pour over the salmon.
  3. Allow the salmon to marinate in the dish with the maple syrup and spices for about 30 minutes. Flip your salmon over half way through marinating so the skin side is up and pink part is immersed in the sauce – this will help spread the flavours through the whole piece. I allow mine to marinate in the dish on the counter while I prep anything else I'm going to be serving with the salmon. You can also marinate this over night if you like.
  4. Before cooking your salmon, flip it back over so the pink side is facing up. Spoon some of the sauce over top. Set your oven to broil and cook the salmon for about 15 to 20 minutes. While the salmon is cooking, be sure to check on it a few times and spoon some of the maple syrup mixture from the bottom of the dish over top of the salmon.
  5. The top of the salmon should become golden and the texture should be flaky when done.
  6. Split the salmon into about four pieces and serve with rice and veggies. Don't forget to spoon some of that delicious sauce from the bottom of the pan onto the tops of your salmon.

Notes

If you marinate the salmon in the fridge, please make sure that you take it out ahead of time and allow it to reach room temperature before cooking. This is very important since cooking the salmon while it's ice cold or chilled will result in uneven cooking.

If you're cooking a bigger piece of salmon, you can double or triple the marinade recipe. Follow the same instructions as above but you may need to increase the cook time. Just keep you eyes on it and you should be ok. ?

In the pictures for this post, I used a 2lb salmon and doubled the amounts in the recipe above.

  • Prep Time: 30 minutes to marinade
  • Cook Time: 15-20 minutes to cook
