Description

This Chili Maple Glazed Salmon recipe offers a perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors, brought together with a simple chili and paprika spice rub and a luscious maple syrup glaze. Ready in just 15 minutes using the broiler, this dish is ideal for a quick, flavorful, and nutritious seafood dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 1 lb. wild salmon fillets
  • Big pinch of salt and pepper

Spices

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Broiler: Preheat your broiler on high to prepare for cooking the salmon evenly and quickly, ensuring a nicely crisped finish.
  2. Prepare the Salmon: Lightly oil the salmon fillets and place them skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Generously season with salt and pepper to enhance natural flavors.
  3. Make the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, whisk together chili powder, paprika, and coconut sugar. Evenly rub this spice mixture over the top of each salmon fillet, creating a balanced spicy and sweet coating.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Broil the salmon fillets on the top rack of the oven for about 8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, light, flaky, and cooked through while remaining moist.
  5. Apply the Maple Glaze: Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the pure maple syrup generously over the tops. Return under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes slightly, adding a beautiful glossy finish.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the salmon immediately while warm, enjoying the delicious interplay of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Use wild salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep an eye on the salmon while broiling to avoid overcooking and drying out the fish.
  • You can substitute coconut sugar with brown sugar if unavailable.
  • Brush the salmon gently with maple syrup to avoid washing off the spice rub.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
