Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Salmon or trout fillets
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the glaze.
Place the salmon or trout fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush the glaze generously over the top of each fillet, reserving a small amount of glaze for basting during cooking.
Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and easily flake with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Halfway through the cooking time, baste the fillets with the reserved glaze to enhance the flavor and create a glossy finish.
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.
Transfer the fillets to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
Enjoy your delicious maple glazed salmon or trout with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
