    This maple crusted salmon is seriously to die for! The warm maple syrup combined with the paprika and crunchy nuts is delicious. This paleo salmon recipe makes for a perfect weeknight dinner and is something the whole family can enjoy! This recipe only takes 10 minutes to prepare.

    Lately I have been eating a lot more fish. If you are a big fish eater like me, be sure to check out my other favorite fish recipes on my blog like my Gluten Free Fish and Chips and Gluten Free Salmon Cakes.

     

    Maple crusted salmon ingredients: 

    • Wild caught salmon–I get all of our favorite fishes and proteins delivered to us monthly from Butcher Box! They have the best quality stuff and I love having a stash in the freezer. You can use my code HERE and get a free surprise in your box every month!
    • Maple syrup-I love the Kirkland brand. It is pure maple syrup without any funny ingredients! 
    • Coconut aminos-I love the Trader Joe’s brand, this is my go to gluten and soy free alternative for soy sauce. 
    • Paprika & smoked chipotle powder-To give this salmon a kick!
    • Apple cider vinegar-This compliments the maple syrup so nicely!
    • Sea salt-To taste. 
    • Walnuts-To give this salmon a nice crust, if you are doing the autoimmune protocol, you can use crushed tigernuts!

    maple crusted salmon ingredients laid out

    How to make this paleo salmon dish:

    • First, preheat the oven to 350. 
    • Next, crush up the nuts-you can do this with a knife or put them in the food processor. 
    • Now, cut up the salmon into 4 portions. 
    • Then, place all ingredients aside from the salmon in a bowl and mix together. 
    • Add the salmon to a baking sheet and pour the salmon mixture over top of the salmon. 
    • Bake for 20 minutes.

    step by step how to make maple crusted salmon

    How can I make this AIP friendly?

    • You can use tiger nuts in place of walnuts for the nut crust! In the blog post HERE i write about why and how tiger nuts are actually nut free and a great AIP alternative. For the spices, omit the chipotle powder and paprika to make this dish elimination phase AIP compliant.

    How should I reheat salmon?

    • I suggest reheating the salmon in the oven, air fryer or toaster oven on 350 for 5-10 minutes.

    What should I serve this with?

    • Vegan mashed sweet potatoes
    • Whole30 mashed potatoes
    • Brussel sprout sweet potato sheet pan

      Made this tonight, 4/3/22, and it was fabulous. I placed the salmon flesh side down in the liquid/walnut mixture while awaiting the oven to heat, flipped them over on a cookie sheet, and poured the liquid onto the salmon. Will make this tomorrow since I have more fresh salmon to eat!! Thank you

      The nuts give this salmon such a great crust! The sweet maple combines so well with the salmon.
