directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Combine the paprika, chili powder, ancho, cumin, garlic powder, and brown sugar.
  • Place salmon on lightly sprayed baking dish or tray.
  • Sprinkle the fillets with the salt, then rub with the spice mixture.
  • Combine melted butter and maple syrup, then drizzle each fillet with a bit of the mixture; sprinkle each with a bit of green onion.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it flakes with a fork.
  • Serve with rice or orzo pasta and steamed green vegetables like broccoli, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), bok choy, or green beans, drizzled with bottled fish or oyster sauce.
  • Note: ancho chile powder is available through many Latin markets or at Penzey's online. See http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysancho.html If you don't have ancho, but do have smoked Spanish paprika, try adding a bit of that! :).

  1. DH and I both really liked this- satisfied my love of sweet and his love of spicy. A little warm for my taste, but I might have gone a little overboard with the spices anyway. I'll definitely be making this one to impress the inlaws!
     
  2. I didn't have any ancho chile powder either, and it was great. I had to fry my fish because I discovered today I don't own any oven safe dishes. Hmm. But the flavours were extremely yummy, and everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. we can't get the ancho chile powder here, so I don't know what it would have added taste-wise as I've never had it before. Saying that, this recipe is delicious and had it all. The baking time is right on. This will be on the menu often as we love salmon.
     
  4. I was looking for a recipe for Salmon that my husband would like, which is not easy. He is not fond of sweet foods so I thought that the minimal amount of sweetness in this recipe would work and it did. Spicy but not overly, it was well balanced. I like things a bit sweeter so I might add just a little more sweet and maybe heat. We are diabetics so I used sugar free maple syrup and brown sugar Splenda and both worked well in the recipe. I did not have portions but a whole filet and the temperature and times were still perfect. I will make this again. I am always on the look out for a good salmon recipe as we are supposed to eat fish at least 3 times a week. Thank you for the recipe.
     
  5. I was looking for something different to make other than Italian food, which my DH loves. This salmon has tremendous flavors that we both really enjoyed! I served it with a Thai cole slaw and some fresh green beans sauteed in garlic and onions. Yummy dinner for us both! Thanks!

  1. used 1/2 tsp chipotle powder instead of ancho chile powder. Spicy, but good.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>It's simply this: I love to cook! :) <br /><br />I've been hanging out on the internet since the early days and have collected loads of recipes. I've tried to keep the best of them (and often the more unusual) and look forward to sharing them with you, here. <br /><br />I am proud to say that I have several family members who are also on RecipeZaar! <br /><br />My husband, here as <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/39857>Steingrim</a>, is an excellent cook. He rarely uses recipes, though, so often after he's made dinner I sit down at the computer and talk him through how he made the dishes so that I can get it down on paper. Some of these recipes are in his account, some of them in mine - he rarely uses his account, though, so we'll probably usually post them to mine in the future. <br /><br />My sister <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/65957>Cathy is here as cxstitcher</a> and <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/62727>my mom is Juliesmom</a> - say hi to them, eh? <br /><br />Our <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/379862>friend Darrell is here as Uncle Dobo</a>, too! I've been typing in his recipes for him and entering them on R'Zaar. We're hoping that his sisters will soon show up with their own accounts, as well. :) <br /><br />I collect cookbooks (to slow myself down I've limited myself to purchasing them at thrift stores, although I occasionally buy an especially good one at full price), and - yes, I admit it - I love FoodTV. My favorite chefs on the Food Network are Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Giada De Laurentiis. I'm not fond over fakey, over-enthusiastic performance chefs... Emeril drives me up the wall. I appreciate honesty. Of non-celebrity chefs, I've gotta say that that the greatest influences on my cooking have been my mother, Julia Child, and my cooking instructor Chef Gabriel Claycamp at Seattle's Culinary Communion. <br /><br />In the last couple of years I've been typing up all the recipes my grandparents and my mother collected over the years, and am posting them here. Some of them are quite nostalgic and are higher in fat and processed ingredients than recipes I normally collect, but it's really neat to see the different kinds of foods they were interested in... to see them either typewritten oh-so-carefully by my grandfather, in my grandmother's spidery handwriting, or - in some cases - written by my mother years ago in fountain pen ink. It's like time travel. <br /><br />Cooking peeve: food/cooking snobbery. <br /><br />Regarding my black and white icon (which may or may not be the one I'm currently using): it the sea-dragon tattoo that is on the inside of my right ankle. It's also my personal logo.</p>
