This Maple Garlic Salmon Steaks recipe combines luscious, tender salmon with a sweet and savory glaze made from maple syrup and garlic, perfectly complemented by the richness of brown butter ghee. It is a quick and easy stovetop dish featuring a beautifully caramelized exterior and a moist, flavorful interior, garnished with scallions and a hint of crushed red pepper for a subtle kick.

  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 salmon steaks or fillets
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp grass-fed brown butter ghee or just ghee
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup grade A maple syrup

To Garnish

  • Chopped scallions
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Season both sides of the salmon steaks or fillets generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Heat the Ghee: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the brown butter ghee until it begins to foam and release a nutty aroma, which will add depth to the dish.
  3. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted ghee and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning, allowing its fragrance to infuse the butter.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon steaks in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Glaze with Maple Syrup: Pour the grade A maple syrup over the salmon, gently spooning it around the fish, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken and coat the salmon in a glossy glaze.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from heat and transfer to serving plates. Sprinkle chopped scallions and crushed red pepper flakes over the top for a fresh and mildly spicy finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality salmon steaks for the best flavor and texture.
  • Brown butter ghee adds a nutty richness but regular ghee works well as a substitute.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a balanced meal.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly based on salmon thickness.
