Ingredients

For the Salmon:

    •    1 lemon, sliced
    •    2 tbsps maple syrup
    •    1 tbsp Dijon mustard
    •    1 whole fillet of salmon
    •    2 tbsps fresh lemon juice
    •    1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    •    finely chopped chives, for garnish
    •    2 1/2 tsp salt, black pepper and garlic seasoning, divided

For the Candied Bacon:

    •    6 slices bacon
    •    3 tbsps maple syrup
    •    1 tbsp packed brown sugar
    •    1/4 tsp salt, black pepper and garlic seasoning

Method

1. Make salmon: Preheat oven to 400°. Place lemon slices on bottom of 9"-x-13" baking dish and place salmon on top. Season salmon all over with 2 teaspoons McCormick Himalayan Pink Salt, Black Pepper and Garlic All-Purpose Seasoning.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together mustard, oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Himalayan Pink Salt, Black Pepper and Garlic All-Purpose Seasoning. Pour sauce over salmon.
3. Roast salmon until cooked through and it flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil and broil until golden, if desired, about 3 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make candied bacon: In a small bowl, whisk maple syrup with brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon of McCormick Himalayan Pink Salt, Black Pepper and Garlic All-Purpose Seasoning.  In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until lightly golden on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Drain bacon fat.
5. Return skillet to medium heat and pour maple syrup mixture into pan. Add bacon and cook, turning slices frequently until liquid is almost absorbed and bacon is glazed, 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Using tongs, carefully transfer bacon to a work surface to cool completely. Crumble bacon and sprinkle with chives over cooked salmon before serving.
