    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.

    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!

    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

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

      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
      Making the honey pork shoulder later this week.
