Maple Glazed Salmon

Salmon was one of the first things I made when I began cooking again a year and a half ago. Pan fried salmon with green beans and mushrooms sauteed in butter. My mom, dad and myself gobbled it up, I remember it like it was yesterday. It is still one of my favourite meals, and I’m still making it today, or at least making variations of this classic dish. Salmon, green beans and mushrooms are like those old friends you can always turn to. Although, I think it’s pretty hard to have three old friends to turn to…at least when you’re still in high school. Anyways, that’s beside the point.

This is a new take on my favourite – Maple Glazed Salmon. I’m Canadian, and we live for maple syrup up here and I don’t know if it’s my Canadian side talking here, but this maple glazed salmon is pretty darn delicious.

I would think that macaroni and cheese, chili, or a big warm bowl of soup would be the most common choices for a comforting dish. Well, if you know me you probably know that I’m not like most people, so, it should come as no surprise that neither of those three are my favourite comfort foods. To me, salmon is one of the most comforting dishes. Is that weird? Probably. I also hate when people talk to me during movies so I enjoy seeing them alone…again, slightly odd. Sometimes, I prefer to eat vegetables over candy. I love words, my dad and I do SAT vocab flashcards for fun. I love going out and forget to do my homework until late Sunday night… wait, that’s normal.

I’m not weird, I’m limited edition.

    This recipe looks VERY similar to the one in Canadian Living, which is cited from The Best Convection Oven Cookbook , 2003.

      Hi Ella, this recipe was adapted from Canadian Living, as I stated at the beginning of the recipe as well as linking back to the original recipe. I did not realize that it was cited from The Best Convection Oven Cookbook, thank you for bringing that to my attention! I'll change it right away.

    I love, love, love salmon...I usually bake it with melted butter, dill, s&p, along with some garlic but I am getting somewhat tired of this so I shall make your recipe as I love maple syrup as well...I really enjoy your narrative that accompanies your recipies & your photos are soooo appetizing looking...
