Maple Salmon. This was an interesting salmon recipe. The maple syrup is very nice for the taste buds, though personally, I'd use a little less syrup. (I used the real deal organic maple syrup, though, so perhaps the taste was a little stronger?) Anyway, the problem I have with this recipe is the contrasting tastes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, syrup, soy sauce, mustard and pepper. Delicious maple-glazed salmon is a little on the sweet side, but not too much. The whole house smells wonderful when this is cooking; it's a great warm winter meal!
I have a hard time finding good recipes my family likes with fish, since my husband is not fond of lemon.

Salmon is my number one favorite meat so I'm always looking for a variety of ways to cook it. Here is another of several ways I like to prepare it. (I only make this with REAL maple syrup, so can't vouch for the results if you substitute.) Skinless salmon filets; Maple syrup; Soy sauce; Garlic; How to Bake Salmon. Combine maple syrup, soy sauce and garlic in a bowl. Place salmon in baking dish, then drizzle soy-maple glaze on top. My brother-in-law once made a sweet glaze for salmon.
