Description
This Maple Glazed Salmon bridges the gap between indulgence and pure, holistic nutrition, offering a rich source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids wrapped in a sweet, caramelized coating. The flaky, tender texture of the fish contrasts wonderfully with the sticky, savory glaze, transforming a simple weeknight meal into a restaurant-quality experience.
Ingredients
4 (6-oz) fillets Wild-Caught Salmo
3 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
2 tablespoons Coconut Aminos
2 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger (grated)
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon Avocado Oil
Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small glass bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, and Dijon mustard. Set aside a small portion for later
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season lightly with sea salt and black pepper
- Sear the Fish: Heat avocado oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, place the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear for 3 to 4 minutes
- Flip and Glaze: Carefully flip the fillets, lower the heat to medium, and pour the glaze over the salmon, basting continuously
- Finish Cooking: Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C)
- Rest and Serve: Let rest for 2 minutes and drizzle with reserved glaze
Notes
Always start with room-temperature fish for even cooking.
Cook skin-on to protect the delicate flesh and keep it flaky.
If the glaze thickens too quickly, add a teaspoon of water or vegetable broth.
