Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets, skin-on
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt. Set aside.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously glaze the fillets with the maple syrup mixture.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the sliced almonds until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle the toasted almonds evenly over the tops of the fillets.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
