Maple Cured Salmon
"Salmon is probably my favourite fish & I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. This recipe came from the Maple Restaurant in Halifax Nova Scotia & was created by Michael Smith (Chef At Large on the Food Network). Note overnight marinating is required!"
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 2 cups maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
- 8 ounces Chardonnay wine
- 1⁄2 cup whole grain mustard
- 8 ounces cream
- 1 cup chopped chives
directions
- Whisk syrup and salt in small bowl until well combined.
- Place salmon in a container just big enough to hold them in a single layer.
- Pour syrup mixture over top, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove salmon from the brine and place on a roasting rack.
- Let it drain briefly; bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5- 7 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish).
- To judge doneness, squeeze the fish or prod with a thin-bladed knife.
- The flesh should just begin to flake and will be moist and juicy inside.
- Meanwhile, place Chardonnay, mustard and cream into a small pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 8- 10 minutes to allow liquid to reduce and sauce to thicken.
- Reserve& keep hot while the salmon cooks.
- Just before serving, add the chives and swirl to combine.

this was wonderful,I made this for my husband and myself it was a good romantic dinner. this is a wonderful new way to cook salmon -
A little too sweet for our tastes, so perhaps next time I won't marinate it quite as long. The sauce really made the meal though. . .it was the perfect complement to the sweet fish! Very simple to make. Thanks!

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
