Maple Smoked Kamouraska Eel

Ingredients

8 ounces (225 g) smoked eel (from the Saint Lawrence, if possible), filleted and skinned
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the broiler. Cut the eel into 4 equal pieces, place on a rimmed baking sheet, and baste with some of the maple syrup.

    Step 2

    Broil the eel for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it bubbles. Remove, baste with the remaining maple syrup, and then broil again for a minute or two. Remove from the broiler, season with salt and pepper (they should stick to the syrup), and serve warm.
