    Making Maple Chipotle Salmon


    Preparing the Salmon

    For this dish you will need about 1.25 pounds of fresh salmon with the skin on.

    Slice your salmon into four pieces about the same size, leaving the skin on. Season each of your salmon pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder and chipotle pepper. Set aside while you make your glaze.

    Making the Maple Chipotle Glaze

    In a medium bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of pure maple syrup, about a tablespoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 3 cloves of fresh minced garlic, a teaspoon or so of liquid aminos or soy sauce and the juice of half a lemon.

    Pour glaze into a baking dish large enough to hold all of your salmon filets.

    Transfer salmon filets to baking dish flesh side down. Make sure all of the flesh of the salmon gets coated with the Maple Chipotle Glaze.

    Cover dish with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    How to Cook Maple Chipotle Salmon

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

    Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in an oven proof skillet (I love cast iron) on medium high heat.

    Add marinated salmon filets flesh side down and cook 2-3 minutes. Do not discard marinade! Flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side.

    Pour remaining glaze into skillet right on top of your salmon and transfer skillet to preheated oven. Cook for 4-6 minutes for medium/medium-well.

    Remove salmon from oven and top with fresh chopped scallions and serve immediately!
