This is a recipe that is easy to throw together for a Tuesday night but elegant enough for Valentines dinner. Salmon takes really well to both smoky and sweet flavors so the Pecan Wood Smoked Maple Syrup is a no-brainer. The result is a very simple stunner that will get you some serious culinary cred.

Ingredients
-
(2) 4oz pieces of good quality salmon
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
3 Tbs Runamok Maple Pecan Wood Smoked Maple Syrup
1 tsp vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat your broiler and line a broiler pan with tin foil.
- Put a thin coat of oil on the tin foil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Place the salmon on the pan, flesh side up.
- Mix the mustard, syrup and oil together and brush over the top of the salmon in a thick glaze. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place under the broiler until the fish is just barely cooked through and the glaze has become brown and bubbly – 5 to 10 minutes. (Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your filet).
- Serve with rice or quinoa and a green salad and any extra sauce on the side.
