This maple glazed salmon is a satisfying weeknight dinner standby, especially during the colder months. The comforting sweetness of maple syrup pairs fabulously with soy, garlic, and ginger. And it's incredibly quick and easy to prepare. Served over a cozy bed of rice or mashed potatoes, this maple kissed fish makes a perfect autumn or winter main dish.
Servings 8 servings
Equipment
- large rimmed baking sheet (or large shallow baking dish)
Ingredients
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, minced or grated
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced or grated
- kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
- 8 six ounce salmon fillets (preferably coho or sockeye)
Instructions
- Set an oven rack about 6 to 8 inches below the broiler, and then preheat it.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce (or tamari), garlic, and ginger until the glaze is well combined. Set half of the glaze mixture aside in a separate bowl (for spooning over the fish when served).
- Arrange the salmon fillets on a foil lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Then brush half of the glaze evenly over the fish.
- When the broiler is ready, place the salmon in the oven and cook for about 7 to 10 minutes, or just until flaky and opaque throughout.
- Serve the salmon with the reserved glaze spooned over the top.
