Maple-Glazed Salmon Recipe
Ingredients:
2 salmon fillets (6-8 oz. each); 2 tbsp. olive oil; 2 tbsp. maple syrup; 1/4 tsp. chopped ginger; 1 garlic clove, sliced; 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced; 1/4 lime; 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar; salt and pepper to taste. For the salad: 1/2 small yellow zucchini, shredded; 12 cherry tomatoes, halved; 2 handfuls of spring mix salad; 1 red sweet pepper, sliced; 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil; 1/2 lime; salt and pepper to taste.
Recipe:
In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic, onion and ginger for 2 minutes. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and sear them on both sides in the skillet. Add the maple syrup, balsamic vinegar and squeeze the lime over the salmon. Add the piece of lime to the skillet too, and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 3 minutes, then open the lid and turn the salmon on the other side. Add 15 ml. of water and cover the skillet again. Cook for 5 minutes more, or until the salmon fillets are cooked to your taste. Remove the skillet from heat and let the salmon fillets stand in the skillet for 5-10 minutes until they cool down sufficiently to be placed over a salad. In the meantime, toss all the ingredients for the salad together in a mixing bowl and serve in two dinner plates. Place one salmon fillet over each salad and drizzle with some of the remaining juices from the skillet. For additional decoration you can sprinkle the maple-glazed salmon salad with some sliced toasted almonds. Enjoy.
