Hello again, Seafoodies! With the start of fall just one day away, we’ve noticed a distinct change in our appetite. We are hungry for the flavors of fall! This week we started thinking about how brown sugar and maple syrup marry with the natural briny flavor profile of seafood; and the result may transform your menu plan thru the holidays. Sweet and savory are a perfect seafood duo.
The result when you add one of these two ingredients – brown sugar or maple syrup – to the salmon, shrimp, scallops, tilapia and cod recipes below is sweet, savory and definitely satisfying. –
The amount of “sweet” in these recipes is enough to entice younger appetites; but it is actually a scant amount of maple syrup or brown sugar. These recipes are sure to become family favorites.
