This maple-glazed salmon is special because it comes from my mom, both my children like it and it's easy to prepare. I serve this recipe with rice and broccoli. The sauce tastes great on the rice. —Danielle Rothe, Greenville, New York

Maple-Glazed Salmon Tips

What kind of maple syrup should you use to make maple-glazed salmon?

If you love sweet and savory maple syrup recipes, you probably know the best brands of syrup. Or, maybe you buy from a local farmer and have multiple grades on hand. Starting in 2015, maple syrup is no longer divided into A and B grades. They are all now called grade A, and instead graded by color and flavor. From lightest in color and with a delicate flavor to the darkest color and intense maple flavor, the four grades are golden, amber, dark and very dark. We recommend amber or dark for this recipe for a nice balance of flavor, but golden would also work.

What do you serve with maple-glazed salmon?

Although there are a lot of side dishes for salmon, maple-glazed salmon would be great with rice and sauteed vegetables like sweet red peppers, asparagus or snow peas.

How long does maple-glazed salmon last?

Like most salmon recipes, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave just until heated through.
