Maple-Crusted Salmon

January 22, 2012 by maashaclayblog

Tasty Salmon….

And a Reminder — GIVE-AWAY Still in Process!

Winter is a great time to prepare Salmon — So easily roasted in the oven! Yum!

And, since my last posting, announcing a Give-Away of a special Maasha Pitcher with Maple Syrup — I figured the best way to prepare Salmon for the oven should involve MAPLE SYRUP. Again, Yum!!

More about my Anniversary Give-Away below….

I’ve prepared this Salmon several (many) times and it always turns out great — With a very easy marinade (with Maple Syrup), with a crumb coating, with a truly easy roasting process.

The Food – Maple-Crusted Salmon:

The preparation is very easy; the Salmon is sooooo tasty! The Marinade is a simple mix of maple syrup, brown sugar, crushed garlic, a bit of soy sauce, maybe cider or lemon juice. Sometimes I mix in Crumbs (to provide a ‘coating’), sometimes I do not (in which case, I marinate a bit longer). A quick and easy roast in a 400 oven — And Salmon is ready, and perfect, and absolutely divine. A hint of earthy but complex sweetness — Balanced by a topping of sauteed Leek, Apple, and dried Cranberry.

Served on a Maasha Plate — With a bit of Garlic Mashed Potato and Butternut Squash. A simple, scrumptious, sit-by-the-fireplace, winter meal. And I’ve included the Recipe on my Recipes Page.

Thank you for your great posts and for sharing your pottery and recipes with us! I am a potter and foodie. I start my days reading blogs but don’t have one of my own. And I most certainly am planning on a salmon dinner very soon.

Sounds tasty to me and now my mouth is drooling over the idea of maple syrup! Well, I am an aspiring potter, avid blog reader, non posting blog writer, and I eat and I cook but I don’t think I could be considered a foodie. and by the way you have a beautiful pictures and pots.
