Report
This 30-minute maple glazed salmon recipe has a mouthwatering sweet and savory glaze! The signature flavor of maple syrup goes so well with flaky, tender pan-fried salmon.

Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh salmon
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- For serving: chopped scallions optional, to taste
Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons chicken broth or water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Take the salmon out of the fridge 15-20 minutes prior to starting the recipe if possible. Cut the salmon into 4 equal pieces and pat dry with paper towel. Season with salt & pepper.
- Add the sauce ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together.
- Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
- Cook the salmon (skin-side down) for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium and flip the salmon and cook it for another 2-3 minutes (should be almost cooked through).
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and let it melt, then pour in the sauce (just pour it in between the salmon pieces). Let it bubble/thicken for 20-30 seconds or so, and then take the pan off the heat (the pan will still be hot and the sauce will continue to thicken, but this avoids burning it). Flip the salmon over & spoon the sauce over top.
- Serve immediately with chopped scallions if using. Squeeze on some extra lemon juice if desired. The salmon skin will be nice and crispy and is delicious when you eat it right away, but feel free to peel it off it you prefer.
Notes
- Timing is for salmon that's about 1" thick. If your salmon is thicker or thinner, you may need to adjust cooking time a bit.
