Easy Maple-Cardamom Salmon Recipe

Ingredients

•45 ml (3 tablespoons) olive oil
•30 ml (2 tablespoons) maple syrup
•5 ml (1 teaspoon) ground cardamom
•One 680 gram (1 1/2-pound) skin-on salmon fillet
•10 ml (2 teaspoons) kosher salt*
•Dill sprigs for garnish (optional)

*Please note that the saltiness of kosher salt varies, and adjust seasoning to your taste.

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 135°C (275°F). Whisk oil, maple syrup, and cardamom in a small bowl. Place salmon in a large baking dish and brush with cardamom syrup on all sides. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
Season each side of salmon with 5 ml (1 teaspoon) salt. Bake until salmon is firm but still pink in the center, 22–25 minutes; if you prefer salmon more well done, cook an additional 5 minutes.
Flake salmon into large pieces and arrange on a platter. Top with dill, if using.
