Baked Five Spice Maple Glazed Salmon And Eliza With Blueberries

With all of the salmon we’ve cooked, I can’t remember ever cooking it with an Asian flavor so when I saw Pam’s recipe for Five Spice Maple Glazed Salmon on her Pam’s Midwest Kitchen Korner blog I thought this would be a great first one to try.  Cindy did the cooking and followed the ingredients as written but she changed the directions including using a probe thermometer to cook it to an internal temp of 120F and brushed on more glaze each 20 degrees until she ran out of glaze.

Five Spice Maple Glazed Salmon - Lightly adapted from Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner

Ingredients:

2-3 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon dried ginger

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon five spice powder

S&P to taste

4 (6-ounces) salmon portions

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

2. Whisk together the first 7 ingredients in a bowl for the glaze.

3. Season the salmon with S&P

4. Place salmon fillets in a baking dish coated with cooking spray (We lined a pan with foil and did not spray it so the skin would stick to the foil and the flesh could easily be removed with a spatula slid between them).

5. Brush sauce on Pour sauce over salmon.

6. Bake for 15-20 minutes to desired internal temperature, basting occasionally until salmon flakes with a fork.

We sided it with some delicious broccoli (steamed then buttered and topped with grated Romano cheese), and leftover fried corn.

The salmon was a big hit with all three of us and the 120F internal was just right for our tastes – now I’m looking forward to our next Asian flavored version.  Thanks Pam for a delicious supper.

A couple of days before, Eliza brought her parents down for a visit, a meal, and so she could pick some blueberries - but she mostly just wanted to eat those that the others were picking.

Then she she fed some corn cobs to the cows.
