Salmon is one of our family’s favourite things to eat  – even our kids enjoy it – and this Easy One Pan Maple Glazed Salmon is one of my favourite ways to prepare it! Salmon is not only super tasty, but it also cooks quickly which makes it a fantastic option for an easy meal on a busy weeknight!

How to Cook Salmon

My favourite way to cook salmon is in my tried and true Cast Iron Pan! It provides the perfect sear and caramelization on the outside of the salmon and it holds the heat evenly, reducing the maple glaze as the salmon cooks. A combination of stove-top browning and oven-baking is the best way to get salmon that’s crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. And once it flakes with a fork, it’s done!

How to Make Maple Glazed Salmon

This Easy One Pan Maple Glazed Salmon is perfected by a simple Maple Glaze that’s made with just a few basic ingredients. Just whisk together some maple syrup, soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil, garlic, ginger and a splash of Sriracha (optional) and pour it over the browned salmon fillets. The sauce reduces slightly as the salmon bakes in the oven and becomes a delicious sauce!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
• 6 3-4 ounce boneless skinless salmon fillets
• salt and pepper
• 1/3 cup real maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
• a dash of Sriracha (optional)
• fresh chives and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Heat a large cast iron (or other oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat and add the oil. 

3. Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan, top side down.

4. Let brown until caramel-coloured on the first side (about 2 minutes) and then flip to brown on the other side.

5. While the salmon is browning, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and Sriracha in a small bowl and pour it over the salmon fillets.

6. Add the whole pan to the preheated oven, uncovered, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes with a fork.

7. Spoon the maple glaze over the salmon again before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped chives, if desired.
