- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Cranberry-Pineapple Relish:

Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the glaze. - Cook the Salmon:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes. - Make the Cranberry-Pineapple Relish:
In a small saucepan, combine cranberries, pineapple, orange juice, honey, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. - Assemble:
Plate the salmon and spoon the cranberry-pineapple relish over the top. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs for a festive touch. - Serve:
Pair with roasted vegetables or wild rice for a complete holiday meal.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness of the relish by adding more or less honey to taste.
- If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries work perfectly as a substitute.
