Ingredients

  • 2 oz salmon filets
  • 2 Tablespoons reduced sodium tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together maple syrup, tamari, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and ground pepper. Reserve 3 Tablespoons of marinade.
  2. Marinate fish in sauce, flesh side down for 20-30 minutes and preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. Place on baking sheet, skin side down and broil for 7 minutes or until the filets are heated through. Remove from oven and drizzle each filet with reserved marinade before serving.

Notes

  • To store: This salmon will keep fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I recommend reheating in the oven or toaster oven for the best results!
  • Lemon juice: Don't have fresh lemon on hand? Swap it with a vinegar like apple cider vinegar, white vinegar or rice vinegar.
  • Maple syrup: Even though this is a maple glazed salmon you can totally swap the maple with honey or agave. The salmon will just have a different flavor.
  • Don't have fresh garlic and ginger? Fresh garlic and ginger is best, but if you’re in a pinch, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and ginger powder will work as a substitute.
