This maple glazed salmon recipe is a delicious and healthy meal option that is quick and easy to prepare. The salmon is marinated in a flavorful blend of maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic, then baked to perfection. The sweet and savory glaze caramelizes as it cooks, creating a beautiful golden crust on the salmon. Serve this maple glazed salmon with roasted vegetables and rice for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the glaze over each piece, ensuring the salmon is well coated.
  4. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. The residual heat will continue to cook the salmon slightly.
  6. Garnish the maple glazed salmon with chopped parsley and serve hot with your choice of sides.
