I am so excited to share this Maple Glazed Salmon recipe. It is hands down one of my new favorite ways to prepare salmon. I love the layer of goodness it coats on the top of the fish, and the flavor it brings.
A few months back we ate dinner at Mike’s parent’s house. His mom made a delicious salmon dish, and she mentioned it using brown sugar and maple syrup, and having a rub on it. Brilliant. I instantly knew it needed some adaptation!
So. Good.

This salmon recipe is easy to make and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

That looks amazing!
This is incredible Lexi. Seriously, love the flavors, the maple syrup. Everything. We were just talking about making this salmon and I showed this one to Naomi. It will happen soon, thanks!
Wow – this looks so good!! Those pictures are awesome – this sounds so perfect after a weekend of some indulgences 🙂
This sounds incredible but where do you get coconut sugar
Most grocery stores carry it! Or online: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TGH4CK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B007TGH4CK&linkCode=as2&tag=lexiscleankit-20&linkId=WZ7BABYWSG5TGBQZ
I love how this recipe includes spices that I already have! It looks so flavorful and delicious!
SALMON is my life! I eat it every single day……. And now I am drooling for more!! 🙂
Omg Ms.Lexi I love this dish. It is absolutely a must try. I think I will have a few friends over to test this out with. Thanks a bunch for sharing.
What is coconut sugar?
You asked what coconut sugar is. It’s a natural sugar made from the sap of coconut palms. Healthy for people maybe, but not for trees. If sap is harvested, the tree cannot produce coconuts. Turbinado sugar is a substitute and can be found in most supermarkets.
Looks delicious, can’t wait to try it! 😀
What can I substitute for coconut sugar?
Lexi, do you feel honey could be substituted for the Maple Syrup with good results? Beautiful recipe!
I don’t think so for this one, the maple really makes it!
What can I use instead of coconut sugar? I have everything else, or would it be ok to leave it out?
I love salmon, but have never tried it with a maple glaze! I bet this would be amazing grilled
What side of the salmon do you leave up–skin or no skin?
I have made this a couple of times now & it is my favorite recipe for salmon! My daughter & son love it too. So simple & so !
This looks amazinnnng! I want to run to the grocery store and buy salmon right now! 🙂
Is this a lb of uncooked salmon? Broiling for 8 mins cooks it through?
Yes!
Yes, recipe cook time was perfect.
when I press broil my oven says broil and you put in a tempurature what temp should I do?
broil high?
Yes!
Followed recipe exactly except did not have coconut sugar so I used brown sugar. Not only did mine look exactly like the printed recipe photo it was the best tasting salmon I have ever had. Thank you!
This is a beautiful recipe that I can feel good about eating. Thank you so much for sharing.
🙂
This is one of my favorite go to busy night meals. When my boys have late football, basketball, baseball…you name it. I can make this while they shower and they LOVE it. If there is extra makes a great salad too.
