Maple Soy Glazed Salmon
Description
This recipe combines pure maple syrup with soy sauce and sriracha to form a marinade that infuses rich sweetness balanced by umami and heat into the wild salmon fillets. Garlic adds savory depth. The salmon marinates for 20 to 60 minutes before being baked at a high temperature, which cooks the fish evenly while retaining moisture.
The marinade is simmered separately to reduce into a thick glaze, which is spooned over the cooked salmon to provide a sticky, flavorful finish. The glaze enhances the salmon’s natural richness and adds a nuanced sweet-spicy layer.
This dish works well as a main course paired with simple sides like steamed vegetables or rice. The balance of flavors suits those looking for a savory seafood dish with a touch of sweetness and mild heat.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce, reduced sodium
- 1 tbsp sriracha hot sauce
- 1 clove garlic (smashed)
- 4 wild salmon fillet 6 oz, skinless
Instructions
- Combine maple syrup, soy sauce, sriracha and garlic in a small bowl, pour into a gallon sized resealable bag and add the salmon. Marinate 20 to 60 minutes, turning once in a while.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Remove the fish from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the marinade in a small saucepan.
- Place the fish on the baking sheet and cook 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a simmer over medium heat and reduce until it thickens into a glaze. Spoon over fish just before eating.
Notes
- Marinate salmon between 20 and 60 minutes for optimal flavor without overpowering the fish.
- Pat salmon dry before roasting to promote even cooking and better glaze adhesion.
- Simmer marinade separately after roasting to create a thick, spoonable glaze.
