A delicious and flavorful recipe for Sweet and Spicy Maple Jalapeño Glazed Salmon, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, chopped jalapeño, garlic powder, and lime juice until well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Brush the maple jalapeño glaze generously over the salmon fillets, reserving some glaze for later.
  5. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked to your desired doneness.
  6. In the last 2 minutes of baking, brush the reserved glaze over the salmon for an extra layer of flavor.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the glaze.
  • Serve the salmon over a bed of rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious glaze.
