Updated Post.
I’m a huge fan of maple syrup, being vegan. A 100% natural sweetener, it’s traditionally used as accompaniment to pancakes, cakes and brioche toast.
However, I also like to use as a marinade and it compliments salmon in these bagels I make up for the kids.
My husband loves them too.
If you’re a fan of marinades using honey, I highly recommend this maple syrup alternative.
It really is delicious and the sweetness of the syrup works wonderfully against the rich salmon fillets.
Served on a toasted bagel -I like wholemeal, the husband plain, as used here- this is a fabulously healthy and filling lunch dish packed full of omega 3 fatty acids and potassium.
Whenever I make a batch, my boys gobble them up in no time!
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 100ml maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon of fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 4 skin-off salmon fillets
- 4 bagels, sliced in half and toasted to your liking.
- A large handful of green leaves, washed.
Method
Add the maple syrup, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, salt and ground pepper and water to a large baking dish and mix. Add salmon fillets to the dish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Pre-heat oven to 200°c, place marinated fillets on a foil lined baking tray and roast in the oven until salmon turns flakey and is cooked through.
Remove from oven and add to toasted bagels with leaves.
Let me know if you make them, won’t you?!

These look amazing- I’ll be trying them out asap! x
Thanks Kaleigh x
My kids are a bit picky about salmon (they think fish should be white, lol!) but I think the maple syrup here might win them over. Looks like a great late summer lunch.
OOh try it, my kids really love salmon x
I have not thought of using maple syrup for marinade. Must give them a try!
It’s so delicious Eileen x
I’m going through a bit of a salmon phase at the moment after not eating it for ages. I’ve not tried it with maple syrup before but I’d imagine that it tastes delicious so I’ll have to give it a try sometime.
Think you will love it Charlotte x
I have never had maple syrup with salmon, why am I only hearing about it now?! It looks amazing! xx #tastytuesdays
Haha it is amazing, enjoy x
This looks delicious even if I’m not a fan of salmon. It would be perfect for my husband.
Oh hope he likes it Adriana, thanks x
These look insane!! I would never have thought to put freshly cooked salmon on a bagel but is genius!
Haha thanks, something a bit unusual but it really works x
I haven’t had salmon in ages, this is so tempting I’m going to have to buy some soon!
Thanks Toni, my husband doesn’t eat meat so it’s perfect for him x
OMG the bagels look amazing! I am in despair at thinking of the very boring pasta we have for dinner this evening without a salmon fillet in sight!!! Will definitely try it soon 🙂
Think we’re eating pasta here too so don’t despair, glad you like it though 🙂
Wow.. the fish looks amazing, so much colour. I really shouldn’t browse this linky just before tea! Brilliant photography too x
Tough linky before dinner isn’t it!x
Will definitely try this. Love salmon and this recipe looks tasty. 🙂 #tastytuesday
Thanks very much x
Hello, Vicki! Thanks for hosting another great party! Have a lovely day. 🙂
Thanks, always lovely to have you join 🙂
Maple syrup salmon, are you kidding me… That sounds FANTASTIC!!
And something I shouldn’t eat all to often 😉
(as with today’s Red Currant Meringue cake)
Good huh, girl!
These look so yummy, and a twist on the traditional salmon bagels. We’ve been using a lot of maple syrup since cooking more from the Deliciously Ella book. Thank you for hosting X
It’s amazing stuff isn’t it?! I had some of buttery spelt bread last night too, dreamy x
What a great way to prepare salmon! I’ll definitely have to start using maple syrup more often.
Thanks Corina, a real fan here!
That looks delicious – I love salmon, and this recipe sounds like it will be so yummy!!
Thanks Sally, wish I had one to eat right now!
Your salmon looks delicious Vicki, I love maple syrup. Will be making this very soon. Thanks for sharing x
Yay so pleased, we love it here and I’m a bit addicted to maple syrup x
That looks absolutely delicious. And so easy too, yum.
Thanks lovely x
Bagels, salmon and maple syrup – three of my daughter’s favourite foods in one recipe!
Yay! Enjoy, both of you x
This looks so tasty and healthy. My friend recently brought me a jar of maple syrup back from a trip to Canada and I’ve been looking for things to do with it, so this is ideal! Thanks for hosting #TastyTuesdays x
I’m so pleased Jenny x
Looks delicious Vicki and loving the outdoors photos as we hang on to the last days of summer! Great idea to marinade in maple syrup, giving the salmon a real sticky flavour boost 🙂
Really wish it was that sunny, today, love that stickiness, perfect with the salmon x
