Description

This delicious dish can be made with any firm-fleshed fish, such as cod fillets. Another variation is to make salmon cakes and drizzle the sauce over the top; serve with pineapple on the side.

Ingredients

1⁄2Cupmaple syrup
2Tablespoondijon mustard
1 1⁄2Teaspoonsalt
1⁄2Teaspoonblack pepper
24Ouncesalmon (four 6 oz fillets)
2Cuppineapple (fresh or canned, cut into triangles)
1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and finely chopped)

Instructions

Heat broiler. Whisk together the maple syrup and mustard in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Place the salmon in a baking dish lined with foil. Season with the salt and pepper. Scatter the pineapple and jalapeño around the salmon. Brush the salmon with most of the syrup mixture, reserving a few spoonfuls.

Broil for 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily when pricked with a fork and the inside is the same color throughout.

Before serving, drizzle the salmon with the remaining glaze. Serve with rice, and a salad or vegetable side dish.
