Broiled Salmon With Spicy Maple Basting Sauce Food

SPICY MAPLE GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• PREP: Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven too 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray (or brush with a little oil) and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the cayenne, onion powder, paprika, salt, and garlic powder.
• SALMON: Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with the prepared seasoning. Bake the salmon for 8-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Generally, you need to bake it about 4-5 minutes for every 1/2 inch of thickness. Remove from the oven, brush with the maple syrup and place back in the oven. Switch to the broiler setting and broil for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until bubbly and brown. Serve immediately with the salad.

SPICY MAPLE GLAZED SALMON FOR TWO!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the glaze from burning. Place salmon filets 2 inches apart on parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, dijon mustard, chili powder, cayenne pepper and garlic. Pour or generously brush the glaze over the salmon, reserving 1 tablespoon for glazing once salmon is done. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is done and flakes with a fork. For every inch of salmon filet thickness, you'll need to bake for 15 minutes. Usually 18 minutes is perfect for me.
• Once salmon is done baking, remove from oven and pour remaining glaze on top. Enjoy! Serves 2.
