Ingredients
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ tsp garlic salt or regular salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 1 lb salmon fillet cut into 4 portions
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 mins (up to 1 hour), turning once.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Transfer salmon and marinade to a baking dish. Bake uncovered 15-20 mins, until salmon flakes easily.
- Let rest 2-3 minutes before serving. Spoon pan sauce over top.
Notes
- Syrup: Use 100% pure maple syrup for best flavor and caramelization.
- Don't Overcook: Salmon is done when slightly translucent in the center; it will continue to cook as it rests.
- Serving: Excellent with rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
