Maple Syrup Salmon
Description
This recipe for Maple Syrup Salmon prepares salmon fillets by marinating them in a sauce combining maple syrup, soy sauce, whole-grain mustard, and minced garlic. The marinade infuses the fish with a sweet, savory, and slightly tangy profile. After refrigerating the fish for 30 to 60 minutes with occasional turning, it is baked at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until the salmon flakes easily and reaches the recommended internal temperature.
During baking, the skin side is placed downward, and the fish is seasoned lightly with salt and pepper. The retained marinade is spooned over the salmon after baking to add gloss and intensify flavor. Serving garnished with fresh chopped green onions adds a mild onion aroma and a fresh contrast. This dish works well as a straightforward entrée with side vegetables or grains.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds salmon cut into fillets
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, mustard, and minced garlic.
- Arrange the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish, and pour the maple syrup mixture on top, making sure to distribute evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, turning once halfway through the process.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Flip the fillets one more time, with the skin facing down. Lightly season the top with salt and pepper. DO NOT DISCARD THE MARINADE.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until easily it is easily flaked with a fork and the internal temperature in the center of the fillets is 125-135 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and spoon some of the glaze on top of each fish fillet.
- Serve warm garnished with some fresh chopped green onions.
