Easy Glazed Maple Dijon Salmon Recipe Perfect for Summer

August 8, 2017 by Kathryn 28 Comments

I’ve always thought of mustard as a bit of a magical ingredient. Just a small amount turns an ordinary food into something extra special, whether I’m adding classic Heinz Yellow Mustard to a hot dog or putting a half-teaspoon of mustard powder into my egg salad sandwich filling.

But my favourite variety of mustard, both as a cooking ingredient and a condiment, is Dijon mustard. And new Heinz Dijon Mustard delivers delicious Dijon flavour in a convenient squeeze bottle that’s perfect for summer cooking.

Since our newest addition, Baby Cormac, joined the family five days ago, I don’t have the time or the energy to cook up anything too elaborate at the moment. But the great thing about Heinz Dijon Mustard is that it adds gourmet flavour to food without a lot of work! And my version of this simple Maple Dijon Glazed Salmon is the perfect example of that!

Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a bit of a maple syrup obsession. It’s not something that we had in the house often, but any time we did I would put it on everything from pancakes to oatmeal. Now, as an adult, I always have maple syrup in the house so that I can add its unique, natural sweetness to any dish I desire.

If anyone had asked me, I would have said there was no way to make maple syrup any more delicious than it already is, but PURE Infused Maple Syrup has found a way with its unique syrups infused with complementary flavours. From Lavender & Chai to Chipotle & Lemongrass, these syrups take a product I already adore to a gourmet level! Recently I received all five varieties of PURE Infused Maple Syrup so that I could cook up a tasty recipe that showed off the syrup in a unique way.

The ground is covered in snow and the wind is icy cold, but spring is here and I am going to enjoy it one way or another! One of my favourite things about spring is the food and fortunately, I don’t need to wait for sunshine and warm weather to indulge in fresh spring flavours…even if I can’t head outside to barbeque just yet!

Asparagus, rhubarb and spinach are just a few of the classic spring foods but my personal favourite spring flavour is maple syrup! Since trees are traditionally tapped right around the beginning of March, early spring is the time when many families indulge in their favourite maple recipes. And luckily for me, the Kraft What’s Cooking website had plenty of tasty ideas using this delicious Canadian concoction!

What I love about maple syrup is that even though it is sweet, it adds amazing flavour and complexity to savoury dishes. And since I was in the mood for fresh spring flavours, I decided to create the ultimate spring feast: Maple-Balsamic Salmon Fillets with Strawberry & Goat Cheese Salad! [Read more…]
