Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground black pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Brush a generous amount of the maple glaze over the top and sides of the salmon fillets, reserving some glaze for later basting.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 6

Halfway through cooking, remove the salmon from the oven and brush it with more of the reserved glaze, then return it to the oven to finish baking.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with optional lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
