Ginger Soy Maple Salmon (with Instant pot update)

[image error]Post Update:

I am actually revisiting this post for  Ginger Soy Maple Salmon after more than 8 years. Well clearly we still love this recipe. It is hard to beat something that pretty much cooks itself, with a few fun ingredients.  I realize are carrying around this recipe since the children’s elementary school days. It almost is difficult to believe that they were once so young. I am doing some re-working of blog recipes and am coming across some old favorites.

And today,  I made an instant pot version of this old favorite as well. It cannot get any easier. 3 to 4 minutes of prepping, frozen salmon and I return home and we have food ready for us. The sauce is a little thinner in the instant pot. If you wish you can thicken in by sauteing it a few minutes. We were fine with it as is.[image error]

Instead of pairing it with rice, for lunch we had it with a side of freshly sauteed tat soy. Easy, breezy and perfect! And for my instant pot version, I use frozen salmon, just cannot believe that is possible.

Original Post.

Not sure if you have ever walked in late to an elementary school concert. Better yet walked in late with a camera. Just to set the record straight I did not get in later, however I did get in after all the good spots were taken. The spots I refer to are not the spots for sitting, but rather picture taking spots. This my friend is the real war zone.

Well positioned moms on their haunches with equipment all set up to capture special moments for posterity. You walking in means you actually are upsetting this fine honed balance, and your camera suggests that you might actually want to move them around.

[image error]Once you assure them you have no such intentions you actually find a good seat, despite the delay because well the moms are busy in the corridors with their cameras. I had given up the business of concert photography, until of course they reached the band years. Then it was a different story for my daughter.

The day anyway started with my concerned daughter looking for me because she had a dream about me slipping and falling, so at 6:15 am I traded that last special half an hour of sleep prattling and chatting with her about dreams and their vividness.

Dinner was a simple but very flavorful affair, I was actually very pleased to see the results with a little marinating and then simple baking. Nothing dramatic, 20 minutes at 350 degrees serves with simple steamed rice, just what we need when dinner is need and the time and hands fall a little short.

The same seasoning works well with rainbow trout and red snapper as well. It is good to have a fish with a rich tasting flesh, like the salmon, because this shows off the diversity of flavors of this simple recipe well.
