Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush a generous layer of the maple chipotle glaze over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
(Optional) Turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to caramelize the glaze and add a touch of char.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve the salmon warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
