Salmon wrapped in crispy prosciutto coated with maple and baked to perfection! This 20-minute recipe makes for a perfectly satisfying and nutritious weeknight meal.
Eating Salmon once or twice a week isn’t an excuse for it to get boring. Okay, so Mr. Protein can eat the same plain salmon over and over again without being fazed. That perhaps my friends is because he is so focused on the ‘protein intake’ factor that he doesn’t notice the actual flavor (minor details). Give him a rock and assure him it has 30g of protein and he will be chewing on it all-day-long, hahaha.
However, the rest of us… hmm well, we kind of get sick of it preeeety quick. And let me just say this, for the record… I cannot stand another -‘salmon again’ grievance from my kids. Soooo, I gotta do, what a mother’s gotta do, to get them to eat Salmon with no complaints!

This Prosciutto Maple Salmon is done in 20-minutes using only 4 simple ingredients! If you don’t have prosciutto at home, don’t feel like you need to run out, although it would be totally worth the trip. Ham works just fine!
Pan sear the salmon first to lock in the flavors, juiciness and brown the prosciutto, then transfer to the oven for 10 minutes. This is an easy breezy way to give your salmon a new face and delicious flavor. Give it a try!
- 3 4-6oz salmon fillets
- ¼ lb uncured prosciutto
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- fresh dill to garnish (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
- Wrap salmon tightly with prosciutto slices.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet or any oven safe skillet. Place fillets in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes each side until the prosciutto is light golden brown. Remove from heat and brush the salmon with maple syrup.

I did chilpotle sauce instead of syrup, was delicious.
Yum, I bet! Thanks for sharing this 🙂
