This recipe is the last in my “to post” file and I finally decided to publish it. I have fresh salmon often (many recipes on my blog) and I also use canned salmon to make my patties. Awhile ago I found this frozen package of 8 small fillets, individually packaged at Whole Foods. Much better for me as I can take out one or two fillets as needed. I also like the smaller size…
Salmon with Maple BBQ Seasoning and Creme Fraiche
- salmon fillets
- white wine
- shallots, minced
- Maple BBQ Seasoning
- creme fraiche
- chives, minced to garnish
Dry the salmon, place in a shallow baking dish. Pour a little white wine around the fillet(s). Sprinkle with Maple BBQ Seasoning, minced shallots and a layer of creme fraiche.
You could also make a paste with 1 Tbsp. Maple BBQ seasoning, 1 tsp. dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp. maple syrup and spread that on top of the fillets.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets. Garnish with chopped chives and serve with sides of your choice. You could also bake the salmon in parchment bags/paper or foil.

This looks delicious. I really like the idea of using maple BBQ seasoning for the fish. As I like mustard so much, I’ll probably take your suggestion and make the paste with it. 🙂
Both ways are good – I don’t always have creme fraiche on hand so will probably make the paste as I do have those ingredients 🙂
I really love salmon (I am a fishy gal) and this sounds great. I keep trying to persuade myself to buy other fish (and I do) but i always go back to salmon. The seasoning sounds great!
cheers

Funny, I do the same thing Sherry. It’s not that I don’t like other fish but salmon is so versatile with many different ingredients. I am a “fishy gal” too 🙂
A big salmon fan here, too 🙂 Great recipe – simple and clean flavours and a wonderful result. I love the use of maple seasoning; such a nice touch.
Thanks Ben – some times I will place salmon fillet flesh side down in a layer of real maple syrup for 30 minutes; then turn it over, add seasonings and bake 🙂
