Maple Glazed Salmon
This maple glazed salmon recipe delivers flaky, tender salmon with a sweet maple syrup glaze, combined with savory tamari and fresh ginger. It's healthy, easy, and simply irresistible!
Ingredients
- 2 6-ounce salmon filets
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari, soy sauce, or coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1/3 teaspoon ground pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, tamari, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and ground pepper.
- Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade for drizzling later.
- Place the salmon filets in a shallow dish, flesh side down, and pour the marinade on top. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, placing it skin side down on the baking sheet. Discard the used marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
- Broil for 7 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should be caramelized but not burned.
- Drizzle each filet with the reserved marinade and serve warm. Enjoy!
