Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush a generous amount of the maple glaze over the top and sides of the salmon fillets, reserving some glaze for later basting.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
Halfway through cooking, remove the salmon from the oven and brush it with more of the reserved glaze, then return it to the oven to finish baking.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with optional lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
