🐟 Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe (Sweet & Savory Canadian Favorite)

This maple glazed salmon is tender, flaky, and coated in a sweet-savory glaze. A quick, healthy dinner ready in under 25 minutes — perfect for weeknights!

🕒 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 15 minutes
  • Total time: 25 minutes
  • Serves: 4

🧂 Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or lemon wedges

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.

  3. Season the salmon:
    Place the salmon fillets on the prepared tray. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  4. Add the glaze:
    Brush the maple mixture generously over each fillet. Reserve a little for basting later.

  5. Bake:
    Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  6. Finish and serve:
    Brush again with remaining glaze and garnish with parsley or lemon wedges. Serve hot!

🍋 Serving Ideas

  • Serve with steamed vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or wild rice.
  • Pair with a side of maple roasted carrots or grilled asparagus.
  • Drizzle extra glaze over cooked salmon for a glossy restaurant-style finish.

💡 Tips for Perfect Maple Glazed Salmon

  • Don’t overbake — salmon continues cooking after removal.
  • Use pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, for authentic flavor.
  • For a crispy top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.

❓ FAQs About Maple Glazed Salmon

Q1: Can I use frozen salmon fillets?
A1: Yes, just thaw them fully before cooking to ensure even baking and glazing.

Q2: Can I grill the salmon instead of baking?
A2: Absolutely! Grill over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side, brushing with glaze as it cooks.

Q3: What type of maple syrup is best?
A3: Dark maple syrup (Grade A – Dark Amber) gives the richest flavor and color.

Q4: How long can I store leftovers?
A4: Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.

Q5: Is maple glazed salmon healthy?
A5: Yes! It’s high in omega-3 fatty acids, lean protein, and uses a natural sweetener instead of refined sugar.
