Maple Cured Salmon

Maple Cured Salmon


1. Whisk syrup and salt in small bowl until well combined.

2. Place salmon in a container just big enough to hold them in a single layer.

3. Pour syrup mixture over top, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

4. Remove salmon from the brine and place on a roasting rack.

5. Let it drain briefly; bake in a preheated 400F oven for 5- 7 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fish).

6. To judge doneness, squeeze the fish or prod with a thin-bladed knife.

7. The flesh should just begin to flake and will be moist and juicy inside.

8. Meanwhile, place Chardonnay, mustard and cream into a small pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 8- 10 minutes to allow liquid to reduce and sauce to thicken.

9. Reserve& keep hot while the salmon cooks.

10. Just before serving, add the chives and swirl to combine.
