Swedish Maple Salmon
- 1/2 cup softened salted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon maple extract (Mapleine if you are in Sweden)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup (I used a light, lower calorie version and it worked great)
- 1 1/2 lbs atlantic salmon, cut into 4 servings
- 8 tablespoons chopped candied walnuts (may sub regular walnuts)
- Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
- Cream together first five ingredients with a hand mixer (or food processor) and leave at room temperature.
- Preheat grill to medium (about 350-375 degrees).
- Season with salt and coat with olive oil. Oil the grill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the clean, preheated grill.
- Cook the salmon for 5 minutes. As the salmon cooks it will turn from translucent orange to pink.
- Turn the salmon over and cook for another 5 minutes.
- NOTE: I cooked mine in the oven in a grill packet for 15 minutes at 350 degrees and it was perfect. I also remove the skin prior to cooking when I use an oven vs. the grill.
- Remove salmon from the grill and put on individual serving plates (skin side down. .or you can remove the skin before serving).
- Top each piece of salmon with a few dollops of the butter you made (this will melt and become your sauce) and top each with 2 T walnuts.
