Bacon and Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe

Bacon and Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe

During the fishing season for trout and salmon when I get a good size fish for something different; I like to stuff them with wild rice stuffing, cover the fish with bacon, and then bake it and serve it with a fresh salad. The whole family enjoys it. So I thought we might also enjoy this Bacon and Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe.

I have used maple smoked bacon before and it’s really good, so when I saw this Bacon and Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe, covering the salmon with bacon, and then using a Maple syrup glaze; I thought it sounded really good. No disappointment here, the bacon, maple syrup, and salmon went well together. This is a simple recipe with very little prep or cooking time you can have fish on the table in less than an hour. I prepared this Maple Glazed Salmon Recipe as written-makes 4.

3. Bake using the center rack of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork and is done. (While the salmon is cooking mix together the soy sauce and maple syrup-bring to a boil and set aside)

4. Remove the salmon from the oven and glaze with the maple syrup mixture using a brush. Return the salmon to the oven and set on broil until bacon is crisp. (This only takes a minute or two so be sure to watch it)
