Maple syrup and dill glazed salmon is a great classic of Canadian cuisine.
Salmon is a protein source rich in vitamins, minerals and omega 3, and together with maple syrup it becomes an energy and taste bomb. For a balanced dish, you can serve it with seasonal vegetables and rice or quinoa drizzled with maple syrup glaze.

Glazed salmon with maple syrup and dill
20 minutes
According to
Low difficulty
2 servings
Ingredients
- 250-260g salmon fillet with skin on
- 3 to 4 tablespoons of MapleFarm Pure Maple Syrup – Very Dark
- a teaspoon of dill leaves
- one tablespoon of oil
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- For perfect browning, the salmon fillet must be at room temperature, so leave it out of the refrigerator for at least an hour before cooking.
- Place the fillet on a plate with the skin touching the plate. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with Very Dark maple syrup and dill leaves. Let it season for a few minutes.
- Heat a nonstick skillet with a tablespoon of oil, and lay the salmon with the skinless side in contact with the skillet.
- Cook for 2 minutes: maple syrup caramelizes and forms a light crust.
- Turn the fillet and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, without turning the salmon again. For the salmon to stay juicy, the heart must remain slightly raw.
- Serve with a rich salad, rice or quinoa and drizzle with more maple syrup to taste.
