The 15-minute maple salmon that I do when I repeat
Why does it work
- A coating with aromatic mayonnaise and protects the salmon and keeps it damp and delicately under the intensive heat of the broiler.
- The intense heat of the roast ensures that the surface looks beautiful in front of the inside of the fish.
I always have a supply of wild salmon fillets in my freezer, to which I usually turn a quick dinner once or twice a week. I just thaw it, add a few simple spices and then fry it for a dinner that comes together in 15 minutes. I have many different ways to put it on-miso, sour cream and dill, lemon and pepper, creole spice mixture etc.-, but my most common way to prepare salmon, is to reduce it with the simple Maple-Mustard Mayo, which I divide here.

Ahorn and mustard seem to be like strange bed comrades, but it is a combination that I have learned works very well after I have seen them in it Recipe for Essenswell Developed by Carolyn Malcoun. (I have worked in the Eatingwell branches in Vermont for a few years and learned the many great uses for the state’s excellent maple syrup in the Eatwell test kitchen.) Over the years I have played with this basic recipe and adapted the proportions, ingredients and technology to land on what is for me is the perfect maple maple Maple mapleSenflachs Formula. Read for my tips to make this 15-minute salmon and get the full recipe.
7 tips for the best Maple-Mustard salmon
- Don’t be afraid of frozen salmon. If you are not accidentally in the Northwest or Alaska Pacific during the laughing season, the chances that you will receive wild salmon that have not yet been frozen. Many “fresh” salmon were thawed on the market before they bought it. But when you buy frozen salmon, you will receive excellent, high -quality fish that were frozen shortly after catching (often it is carried out directly on the ship). As I mentioned above, I always have wild salmon in my freezer – which I prefer in taste and texture. This is due to the fact that I belong to a fishing (CSF) supported by the community, which means that I pay a collective in advance of Fisher for a huge box with blitzerlach salmon fillets, which I pick up once a year. (If you are interested in participating in a CSF, take a look at Local fishing network of the seafood FinderHow I found my CSF Illiamna.) When you start with frozen salmon, remove it from his packaging and thaw it in the fridge overnight. If you forget you can Accelerate the upturn process By using a metal pan.
- Fry, don’t bake. One of my main changes, as I prepare salmon, was inspired by Daniel’s fried salmon with Harissa lime mayonnaise. As he determines in the top note for the recipe, it enables you to bake the outside with an intensive heat while leaving the interior tender and juicy.
- Add some fat in the form of Mayo. Also inspired by Daniels Harissa-Lime-Lach and added Mayo as a “insulator” to keep the salmon moist and tender. As a southern state, I believe in the power of the mayonnaise to improve the most food, and I was not too surprised that the addition of Mayo to the combination of mustard and mayo not only had texture advantages, but also the advantages of taste – the fat in the Mayo really rounds off the mustard (there is a reason why dijonia exists). And because wild salmon is usually slimmer than bred, a little more fat is welcome.
- Use real maple syrup. I hope this goes without saying, but for the best taste I buy real maple syrup (and store it in the fridge), not in the fake stuff. If you do not have maple syrup at hand, the recipe also works well with brown sugar.
- Add a small piece of heat with chilis. Another element of this recipe, which I have from Carolyn Malcouns baked salmon recipe, is the addition of a smoked paprika or chipotle powder. Both give a touch of smoke and a little heat for a nice contrast to the sweet maple syrup and the spicy dijon. Simple Cayenne pepper also works and I also love Diaspora Co.s Sirārakhong Hāhei Chiles.
- Consider an additional Mayo-Mustard Maple mix. The recipe below makes just enough sauce to peel the salmon, but if you want to serve as a sauce on the page – which I only recommend – simply double the first four ingredients in the recipe. It is particularly nice to have additional to serve in a salad on cold salmon.
- Scalate the recipe up or down to your needs. This recipe serves four to six, but mostly I scaled it on one or two portions and the eyeball the ingredients for the Mayo-Mustard Maple mix. The combination is very forgiving: as long as you use about half as much mustard as Mayo and half as much maple syrup as mustard, you can go well when calving (simply this formula for scaling).

Everything you need to complete the meal is one or two short side. If I really want to prepare the whole dinner for 15 minutes while the fish is in the broiler, I cook some couscous on the stove in broth (which takes about five minutes) and dampen some vegetables such as broccoli or asparagus in the microwave, which takes about three minutes. I dress the vegetables and couscous with lemon peel and juice and olive oil and/or the additional Mayo-Mustard mixture, and I can get started.

Place a stuck baking sheet with aluminum foil. Pour the salmon slightly with salt and pepper. Place the salmon on prepared baking sheet and a thin, even layer of the Maple-Mustard mixture over the surface and the sides.

Fry the salmon until you are tanned at the top and the middle registered for medium to medium to medium for about 5 minutes (46 to 52 ° C). It can help keep the oven door cracked while salmon cooking to prevent the broiler from being in and out of cycling (although not all stoves work in this way). If salmon is browned well at the top before it is cooked enough in the middle, switch off the broiler and set the oven to 220 ° C (220 ° C), then continue cooking until it is finished (this should not last longer than 1 to 2 minutes).

You can produce this recipe with salmon, which has already been divided into individual portions or a larger fillet for a party or a large meeting (only remember that a large piece of salmon does not cut off cleanly after cooking). This recipe works equally well with skin and hewing salmon.
