Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is an elegant dish that will make it look like you spent all day in the kitchen but is really simple to prepare. The salsa is a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors and fresh flavors. Mango shines through with its added sweetness. Salt and pepper season the fish perfectly. The maple glaze adds just enough sweetness with a hint of caramel flavor. Fresh and light, this is a delightful dinner.

How To Make glazed salmon with mango salsa

Step 1

Make the salsa. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

In a small heavy saucepan, simmer maple syrup, ginger, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic 30 minutes or until reduced, then allow to cool.
Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 4

Lightly oil a shallow baking pan large enough to hold salmon.
Step 5

Divide glaze mixture to reserve 11/2 cup of glaze to serve with cooked salmon and the rest to baste salmon with before and during cooking.
Step 6

Place salmon skin side down. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Then brush with glaze.
Step 7

Bake for 10 minutes. Then brush on the remainder of basting glaze and bake 10 more minutes or until just cooked through.
Step 8

Heat reserved glaze over low heat to use as a sauce. Keep glaze warm and covered.
Step 9

Serve salmon with sliced lemon and warmed glaze with mango salsa on the side.
Step 10

TIP! Maple glaze may be made up to 2 days ahead, chilled and covered. Bring glaze to room temperature before proceeding.
