Fish in a Jiff




Here is a tasty salmon dish that you can make in minutes! 

Serves 4
Ingredients: 

4 salmon fillets
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/4 cup maple syrup

Marinate your fillets at least  half an hour before cooking in the ginger (sprinkled lightly over fillets)  and maple syrup. Make sure the  fish has come to room temperature before cooking.

Drizzle a little olive oil in a  heavy bottomed skillet. Place the fillets flesh side down into the pan on medium heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes then flip them to the other side. Now pour remaining maple syrup marinade into the pan, turn down heat a bit and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes (depending on how thick they are and also how you like your salmon) . If you find the syrup getting too thick you can add a little water to thin it out. Serve with Basmati rice  

We first tasted this dish at some Canadian friends of ours and my family fell in love with it. I was thrilled to have a  recipe for maple syrup that didn't involve me getting a new pants size!

Bon Appetit!
