Here we are and another Wednesday and a new fish Main course, 😉 Ok, this week I am made my sons ultimate and most loved fish dish. You know how being Canadian means everything needs to have some sort of maple in it, eh Every bite of this salmon dish reminds of Canada and makes you feel your at home. Home sweet home 🇨🇦
I make this dish all year round, but in autumn it warms the soul and although it looks fancy but tastes like comfort food. It’s a bit sweet, little kick of cayenne and a hint of thyme, at the end of each bite you feel the subtle maple aroma. I add a dollop of maple butter over the salmon fillet when its out of the oven to reinforce the maple flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 slices salmon fillet
- 3/4 cup cupped walnut
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 fresh thyme strands
- 4 lemon slices
Instructions
- In a small bowl place all the ingredients, (except the garnish and the salmon), mix well to form a sort of marinate.
- Cover a baking tray with baking paper, place the salmon slices on the paper drizzle the marinate over the slices, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Take the fish tray out of the fridge, uncover and place it on the oven's middle rack and bake for 20 minutes.
- Take out of the oven place a piece of aluminum foil over the fish and let it stand for 5 minutes. Plate garnish each slice with 1 thyme strand and a lemon slice and serve.
** Serve this delicious and succulent salmon with your favorite vegetables and starch.
Bon Appetite
