    This Maple Salmon Recipe is one of my favorite baked salmon recipes! It cooks up quickly and you could even cook it from frozen! The maple sauce is so delicious and not just for salmon, you could even use it on shrimp, pork, chicken, or even beef. plated

    Our Maple Salmon Recipe is one of my favorite baked salmon recipes! When you make this maple glazed salmon recipe you’ll never want to make any other salmon any other way. The maple sauce marinade is so delicious and not just for salmon, you could even use it on shrimp, pork, chicken, or even beef.

    We enjoy salmon at least once a week in our house. When I see fresh wild caught Alaskan King Salmon in the supermarket, I have to get it! If I don’t buy that I usually get frozen wild caught salmon.

    The frozen wild caught is still good, but nothing beats the king salmon in flavor, texture, and it’s just pure perfection. You want good flavor on your fish and this recipe for salmon with maple syrup and orange is perfection.

    Talking about the type of salmon we purchase.. we do not purchase farm raised salmon. I know some love and purchase it regularly, but for our family, we opt for wild caught.

    I can’t say we never eat it, as we may eat it when out and not know, but for our home purchase we always go for wild caught, you can tell the difference in flavor.

    We like to marinate our salmon when we do any type of sauce. It really helps the flavors get into the salmon. We recommend marinating for 20-30 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes.

    Fish is very delicate and isn’t something that needs to be marinated too long to get the flavors of the marinade.

    To marinate our salmon or any other protein we like to use a glass dish with a lid. We use this dish just for marinating our proteins.

    My family is a huge fan of this salmon recipe. It has sweet notes and the maple sauce reminds us of our favorite Asian Cuisine, but you don’t even need to leave your house for this recipe.

    In fact, you can cook this recipe quicker than you can expect takeout to arrive.

    My daughter loves this meal with rice and I usually double the marinade so I can make extra sauce for our rice and broccoli.

    Recently we had some potatoes and zucchini and thought it would be a great way to turn our favorite maple salmon recipe into a sheet pan meal. Sheet pan dinners are a total time saver. I love just placing everything onto the cookie sheet and it all cooking together.

    This maple salmon recipe would be great with some fresh side dishes like:

    • Air Fryer Sweet Potato
    • Roasted Beets and Sweet Potatoes
    • Baked Asparagus

      OMG, this looks FANTASTIC!!! I’d also serve it with a side of sweet potatoes (because salmon and sweet potato go together like pbj!), and probably eat the entire tray myself, haha! Definitely pinning this one – thanks for sharing <3

        It’s soooo good! Thanks so much for the comment! YES, they do! My husband is more into the white potato with salmon so this is what we went with. 🙂
