Ingredients for Maple and Bacon Salmon:
Method of preparing the Maple and Bacon Salmon:
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Stack the lemon slices on the bottom of a large baking dish, and then put the salmon fillet on top of it.
-
Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp maple syrup, mustard, oil, and lemon juice. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillet.
-
Bake the salmon for 20 to 25 minutes, or until fully cooked. Switch the oven to broil and continue baking until golden for another 3 minutes.
-
In a bowl, combine the remaining 3 tbsp of maple syrup, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
Fry the bacon 4 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain.
-
Drain the bacon fat from the frying pan, then pour the maple syrup mix into the pan over medium heat. Then add in the bacon and cook, flipping each slice a few times to glaze the bacon.
-
Crumble the glazed bacon over the cooked salmon right before serving. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve with steamed veggies, rice, or any side dish of your choice.
