This recipe comes from the maple queen herself, Laleña of Dutch Hill Preserves. It’s a fantastic entrée idea for those nights when you need a great sweet & savory flavor, but are still watching your diet. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
•1 pound of wild caught salmon
•2 tsp. Grade B Dutch Hill Preserves Maple syrup
•1 tsp. Dijon mustard
•1 T. grated orange or lemon zest
•Fresh ground black pepper
Directions:
Combine maple syrup, mustard, and zest in a small bowl. Massage onto salmon. Add pepper to taste. Bake salmon at 400 degrees on foil lined tray until fish flakes with fork. Approximately 10-15 minutes. You can also grill or broil. Whichever method you prefer will work. You only need a very little bit of mixture to give the fish marvelous flavor and also reduce that “fishiness” of salmon that many people don’t care for, without reducing the health benefits of those great omega threes! The zest of lemon or orange alleviates the need for any salt.
