Maple Glazed Salmon makes a Scrumptious Addition to your Seafood Menu

When you’re looking for ways to incorporate easy meals into your dinner rotation, seafood can sometimes be overlooked. I was raised on old fashioned salmon patties that my Mom made with canned salmon from the pantry. I confess, I still love them. Salmon also makes a fabulous addition to a seafood chowder, not to mention salmon dip as an appetizer around the holidays. Salmon is an elegant dish that cooks quickly and one you’ll pay top dollar for when dining out.

 

Tips for Making Maple Glazed Salmon

• As with any dish, use a quality salmon for the best end result. You may enjoy this article on The Spruce Eats discussing the top 6 types of salmon.
• You can use lemon or lime juice in the marinade.
• I prefer teriyaki sauce for this dish but, you could use soy sauce in a pinch.
• If you enjoy lots of sauce, double it. You can simmer it in a small saucepan nearby while you prepare the salmon with the marinade as written in the recipe instructions.
• I love serving this dish with Jasmine rice and snow peas. Any fragrant rice or your favorite vegetable will do.

 

 

Other Dishes to Serve with Salmon

While I most often serve this dish over rice, you can shake-up your sides to suit your taste.

• Teriyaki Rice with Mushrooms and Peas
• Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
• Parmesan Panko Sugar Snap Peas
• Roasted Asparagus
• Asian Cole Slaw
