I love fish. Sushi, salmon, tuna, grouper, snapper, you name it. I make salmon regularly, but I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it, so I was thrilled when I stumbled upon this recipe in InStyle, no less. I made it last weekend and it is definitely getting added to my recipe book. I definitely suggest using low-sodium soy sauce and low-fat syrup – I’m not a fan of overly sweet or salty foods. Pair it with broccoli and brown rice and you’re set!
2 salmon fillets
4 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 TBS garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 TBS onion powder
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 maple syrup
Rinse and dry each fillet, then brush olive oil on the flesh side of the salmon. In a bowl, mix together nutmeg, cinnamon, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle each fillet with the spice mix and rub in. Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Heat skillet with olive oil. When skillet is hot, place salmon, flesh side down, and cook over medium-high heat for four minutes. Turn over and cook an additional 4 minutes. In saucepan, mix together soy sauce and maple syrup over medium heat until sace is thick. Drizzle over fillets.
