Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for extra spice)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Pour the maple-spicy marinade evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Let the salmon marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
