Maple Dijon Marinade Recipes

MAPLE DIJON SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, thyme, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat canola oil in a large oven-proof saute pan over medium heat. Cook salmon until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush surface generously with maple syrup mixture. Cook until bottom is browned, about 3 minutes more.
• Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes more.

MAPLE-DIJON-MARINATED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine marinade and pork chops. Marinate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove pork chops from bag, and discard marinade. Grill pork chops until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

ONE-BOWL, ALL-PURPOSE MAPLE MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Simple whisk together the maple syrup and both mustards until smooth. Use as a glaze before cooking or as a slather or sauce after. Try topping meatloaf or salmon, pork or even tofu!
• Sauce will keep for 1 week in refrigerator in an airtight container, but we usually just make it right before we need it.

CREAMY MAPLE DIJON CHICKEN WITH BACON

Steps:

• Begin by heating a large skillet to medium high heat. Add bacon once hot, and cook to desired crispiness. I do about 4-5 mins per side. Remove bacon from heat and reserve 1 tbsp of bacon grease.
• Bring skillet back to your burner, add chicken to the pan. Cook each breast 3-4 mins per side (depending on thickness), but do not cook all the way through. Remove chicken from pan, but keep pan hot.
• Add coconut oil to the pan if it's dry, and then toss in mushrooms and leeks. Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until mushrooms are fragrant and leeks are softened.
• Crumble bacon into small pieces and return to the pan with mushrooms. Add chicken and coconut milk, stir to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together dijon and maple syrup. Pour mixture into the pan and continue to whisk until well combined.
• Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Serve over potatoes, zoodles, spaghetti squash, or brown rice.

MAPLE MUSTARD MARINADE

Steps:

• Mix together all ingredients.
• Marinade meat several hours or overnight.

MAPLE-DIJON VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the maple syrup, mustard and cider vinegar in a large bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the vinaigrette emulsifies and thickens.
• Toss the mixed greens with the vinaigrette and serve.

MAPLE MARINADE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine all marinade ingredients, and whisk until well combined. Reserve ¼ cup (60 mL) of marinade, and pour remaining into large marinade bag containing steaks. Gently massage for 1-2 minutes, then place bag and reserved marinade in refrigerator for 1+ hours. Remove steaks and grill until desired doneness is reached, all while basting with reserved marinade.

MAPLE DIJON SAUCE (PALEO, LOW-CARB, VEGAN)

Steps:

• Mix ingredients together in a bowl, and stir until texture is smooth. Store covered in the fridge for up to one week, or use immediately.

MAPLE DIJON BAKED TEMPEH

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Prep a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, cut the tempeh into 1/2 inch strips and steam for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, maple syrup, and soy sauce. Then, whisk in the extra virgin olive oil until emulsified.
• Add steamed tempeh to the marinade, stir gently till tempeh is evenly coated, and let marinate for 15-30 minutes. (30 minutes is better, but I was in a rush and only did 15 and it came out pretty good)
• Spread tempeh onto prepared baking sheet, laying the pieces on the wide side so they bake evenly. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn tempeh pieces to other side and bake an additional 10 minutes.
• Let cool a bit before serving.

MAPLE-DIJON MARINADE
