10-Minute Maple-Glazed Baked Salmon Recipe
Description
The 10-Minute Maple-Glazed Baked Salmon Recipe combines chili powder, paprika, brown sugar, and salt to create a flavorful seasoning rubbed onto skinless salmon fillets before broiling. The initial broil crisps the seasoning into a crust, while a final glaze of maple syrup applied midway through broiling caramelizes into a glossy, sweet finish. This finish provides balance against the spice from the seasoning mix. The quick broiling method cooks the salmon through while maintaining a moist texture inside. The maple syrup crust adds a sticky, slightly caramelized element on top.
With only a few ingredients and a short cooking time, this salmon can be served alongside simple sides for a straightforward yet flavorful meal. The method allows customization of crispness and sweetness based on broiling time and maple syrup application.
Checking the salmon after 6 minutes and then every minute afterward helps achieve the preferred level of doneness and crust crispness. This attentive timing prevents overcooking and maintains the salmon's tender texture. Immediate serving upon finishing preserves the contrast between the warm crust and delicate fish.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar raw
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 ½ pounds salmon cut into 4 portions, skinless fillets
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to broil. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, paprika, sugar, and salt
- Generously sprinkle the chili powder mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and broil for 6-9 minutes, depending on how thick your fillets are and how crispy you prefer the crust.*
- Remove the salmon from the oven and brush the maple syrup over the tops to coat the spice rub. Return to the oven and broil for an additional 1-2 minutes until the maple syrup is bubbling and has formed a crust. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Monitor the salmon closely starting at 6 minutes of broiling to achieve your desired crispness and avoid overcooking.
