Pepper-Crusted Maple-Glazed Salmon
This Pepper-Crusted Maple-Glazed Salmon is so full of complex flavour its the perfect recipe for family dinner or to serve guests.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bob Blumer last year at a conference and it was so exciting! I’ve had his cookbook Glutton for Pleasure for a year now and have enjoyed trying out many of the recipes. My family might have enjoyed this even more than me though! One of my favourite recipes is for Maple-icious Salmon and it really is Maple-icious. This Glazed Salmon ends up almost candied but the sweetness is perfectly counter-balanced by the cracked pepper crust.
I usually only share original or adapted recipes but this one is too perfect to change but I just had to share! If you like this one, make sure you check out the entire book – its worth it!
(I’m not the best at Grilling so my salmon is over-done… it was still delish though!)
Pepper-Crusted Maple-Glazed Salmon
Glutton for Pleasure by Bob Blumer
Ingredients:
¾ cup maple syrup
¼ cup soy sauce
4 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed
¼ cup coarsely ground black pepper (Grind it yourself, or purchase “cracked” pepper at your grocery store.)
Directions:
In a small deep bowl, or a resealable plastic bag, mix maple syrup and soy sauce. Add fillets so that marinade completely covers fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for as long as possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 24 – 48). Turn salmon (or bag) every few hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high direct heat.
Place pepper on a small plate. Remove salmon from marinade and pat top side into cracked pepper to coat.
Grill for approximately 3 minutes per side, starting with pepper side down, or until salmon is just on the verge of turning opaque.

This looks like a great recipe for salmon.
Salmon is my favorite fish. I’ve never thought about putting maple syrup on it. This would probably taste great with some rice noodles and stir-fried veggies.
This looks delicious, and easy to make. I can’t wait to give this a try, Thank you for sharing this recipe.
This sounds so good! I definitely stick to one or two salmon recipes and need to explore different marinade!
We love salmon here on the west coast so a new recipe is always welcome!
Saw this recipe linked up at Monday Funday Linky Party and knew it was one that I would love! Thanks for sharing 🙂
it is so simple, but looks so delish!
Sounds like a great recipe…I think I will be giving this a try since it’s Salmon seasoN!
What a delicious-sounding glaze. I love salmon and maple – so good!
I love Salmon and will be trying this soon
My husband would love this recipe as he loves pepper. I will taste his before I commit.
We actually have a large portion of salmon in the freezer right now, I think I will use this recipe when cooking it
I am not a fan a salmon but my Dad loves it so I might just have to make this for him as a treat. It sounds like something he would love! Thanks for the recipe!
