Ingredients

24ozsalmon fillets,skinless

⅓cupreal maple syrup

3tbspsoy sauce,not low-sodium

2clovesgarlic,minced

freshly ground black pepper,optional

green onions,chopped, optional

Preparation

In a mixing bowl whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic. Place salmon into a baking dish then pour maple syrup mixture evenly over salmon.

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, carefully rotating salmon once halfway through. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F during the last 10 minutes of marinating salmon.

Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray then transfer marinated salmon into a greased dish (don’t discard marinade). Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes until salmon is cooked through.

Meanwhile, pour marinade into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once it reaches a boil, reduce heat slightly and allow to cook several minutes, stirring frequently, until reduced to ¼ cup.

Serve salmon warm with 1 tablespoon of the maple soy glaze drizzled over the top and black pepper and green onions if desired. Add salt if needed.
