I once had salmon in Canada where they used maple syrup. It was incredible.

No recipe though, sorry.

indeed. i used to be a fishing guide and it seems to be a pretty common salmon cooking ingredient.

let me also emphasize how excellent fresh salmon and maple syrup taste....mmmmmmm.

finally, you must only use REAL maple syrup.

cheers,

I've heard before how good this maple syrup thing is. Sounds well worth trying, and it's on my list.

I dont have an exact recipe because I always just wing it. A little olive oil in hte pan, heat it, put the fish in to cook, add a little orange juice, and a some thinly sliced oranges, keep cooking, drizzle honey on the non-skin side, after the skin side has cooked, let the honey get crusty, finito.

Hmmm...some orange zest sounds like a good addition.

Simplest, best salmon:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt enough butter in a baking dish to cover the bottom about 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Season the salmon if you like, but I don't use anything. Put salmon in dish skin side up and cook about 5 minutes. Turn and cook about another 5 minutes, or until flesh flakes easily off the skin.

Wow that's a lot of butter. You doing a whole side of salmon at once?

Re: COOKING SALMON
 

That's also not very interesting. You're not getting any of the added flavor of saute, and you don't season? SEASON EVERYTHING!!! God intended for salt and food to be combined. Also salmon is a healthy food option. I'm hestitant to drown it in butter.

You just need enough butter to keep the fish moist. Most if it will still be in the dish when you are through. I may have over-stated the amount. A large filet (about a pound) in a baking dish just big enough to hold it takes about a half a stick of butter.
