Serve wilted spinach, roasted new potatoes and a glass of stout or full bodied Chardonnay, like Cave Spring or Penfold's Koonunga Hill.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
1/3 cup maple syrup (real stuff)
1/4 cup soy sauce
sesame seed

Directions

1
Marinate the 2 salmon fillets in mixture of 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1/4 cup of soy sauce for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
2
Remove from refrigerator, spoon out marinade into a saucepan and reduce over medium-low heat until you're left with about half the original volume (about 10 minutes).
3
Broil the fillets in a lightly oiled pan for about four minutes, skin side up.
4
Flip the fillets over and brush the flesh side liberally with the reduced marinade.
5
Sprinkle sesame seeds over top and broil for another 4 minutes or until the surface is caramelized and the salmon is no longer translucent in the centre.

I love this! My kids love this! My parents love this! This is the best recipe ever. I always marinate overnight with delicious results. The marinade forms a coating (a layer) on the salmon that is delicious when cooked. Instead of the sesame seeds, we have used cracked black peppercorns added after cooking for a hotter (spicy) result. I also serve it with wilted spinach and roasted peppers and a bowl of fresh strawberries. It's an elegant and nutritious dinner!

Simple and delicious. Served with rice and steamed asparagus. Next time I'll make a little extra sauce for the rice.

This was very tasty, and quite simple. I added a bit of chili powder to the fillet to add a bit of complexity/spice. My only frustration was the unpleasant odor and mess of the sauce, some of which inevitably drips off and burns on the pan in such a high temp oven. Most likely will make again anyway, as it was quite good.

I'm a 35-year-old bachelor with limited cooking experience, and even I can cook this dish! It's a terrific, very easy salmon recipe, even without the sesame seeds — I have always left out the sesame seeds only because I never have any in the house. The longer you marinate the salmon, the better it tastes. I have marinated it for as little as an hour and as long as 24 hours and it always tastes great, but longer is better. I highly recommend this recipe. Enjoy!
