Maple Syrup Glazed Salmon

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.
