Enhanced Maple Sugar Brûléed Salmon
Ingredients:
- 1 (4-pound) salmon fillet, skin-on
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Modified Instructions:
- Temper the salmon: Bring the salmon to room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Elevate the sweetness: Add 2 tablespoons of molasses to the maple syrup for a richer and deeper sweetness.
- Enrich the flavor: Stir in 1 tablespoon of grated orange zest to the maple syrup mixture for a citrusy aroma.
- Season the salmon: Rub the salmon with a mixture of salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
- Enhance the crust: Combine the brown sugar, panko breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- Brush the salmon: Brush the salmon with the melted butter and then generously sprinkle the brown sugar mixture on top.
- Brule the sugar: Use a kitchen torch to brulee the sugar until it’s golden brown and caramelized.
- Top with herbs: Garnish the salmon with fresh chopped parsley, cilantro, or dill for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy the maple sugar brûléed salmon while it’s hot and the sugar crust is crispy.
Tips:
- For a more intense caramelization, broil the salmon in the oven for 2-3 minutes before brûléeing.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or oven-safe dish to prevent the salmon from burning.
- Keep a close eye on the sugar while brûléeing to avoid burning.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a light green salad.
