Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Pure Canadian maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (e.g., salmon or trout)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Place the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, and ground black pepper into a small mixing bowl.
Whisk the ingredients together until evenly combined to form a smooth glaze. Set aside.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides lightly with salt.
Place the fish fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the prepared baking sheet.
Generously brush the prepared maple syrup glaze over the top of each fish fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fish fillets.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve hot, with a lemon wedge on the side for added brightness, if desired.
