Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Salmon fillets
4 (6 oz each)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon, freshly ground, or to taste
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Soy sauce
1/4 cup
Maple syrup
1/3 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This glaze is the star of the show, combining sweet and savory elements to elevate the salmon.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a baking dish. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. For optimal taste, baste the salmon with the glaze halfway through baking to enhance the flavor and create a beautiful caramelized finish.
  5. Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the baking dish before serving to add a final touch of sweetness.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the glaze for a hint of tanginess.
  • 💡 Serve the salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complement the dish.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoky flavor, try grilling the salmon instead of baking it.
