Maple Syrup and Salmon go great together. This is a perfect summer recipe as it makes a light and delicious meal. You could also try this recipe with our Maple BBQ Sauce. 

This recipe is from Saltscapes. 

4-6    salmon fillets, skin attached
1 cup (250 mL)     maple syrup
1     small onion, chopped    
2     tablespoons (30 mL)     apple cider vinegar
1     tablespoon (15 mL)     Worcestershire sauce
1-2    teaspoons (5-10 mL)     pepper sauce    
1     teaspoon (5 mL)     salt
1     teaspoon (5 mL)     dry mustard

Prepare sauce by combining syrup, onion, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, salt, and dry mustard in a small pan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 4 or 5 minutes and set aside to cool. 

Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator before using.

Heat barbecue to medium-hot. Lightly paint salmon with the maple glaze and lay the fillets skin-side up on the grill. Carefully turn fillets and continue to cook skin-side down. Baste fish with glaze several times as it continues to cook. Fish is done when it easily flakes, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Maple Roasted Squash Soup

The two types of squash in this soup create a very smooth and rich consistency. 

 

1 Butternut Squash

1 Buttercup Squash

2 Onions, peeled and cut in ¼

6 cloves Garlic, smashed

8 leafs Sage, fresh

½ c Acadian Maple Syrup

1 tbsp Chinese Five Spice powder

2 tbsp Salt

 

Garnish:

12 Sage Leaves

½ c Foxhill Quark Cheese

2 tbsp Acadian Maple Syrup

 

Preheat the oven to 350F.

 

Cut the squash into ¼‘s and scoop out the seeds; leave the skin on.

 

In a roasting pan, add the squash, onions, garlic and sage. Sprinkle with 5-spice powder,

maple syrup and salt. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes or until some color

develops on the vegetables.

 

When the squash is well roasted and soft, add to a pot and cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer

10 minutes until falling apart.

 

Use a hand blender or food processor to puree and season with some salt if needed.

 

Pour into bowls and garnish with 1 tbsp quark cheese, a sage leaf and a little maple syrup.
