Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1.5 pounds king salmon filet (skin off and pin bones removed)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (minced or grated)
  • fine sea salt and ground black pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking pan, about the same size as the salmon fillet, with foil for easy cleanup. You can also lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the salmon in the baking pan, skin side down, and coat with the maple syrup glaze.
  • Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. For best results, insert a thermometer into the salmon. Aim for 140º F and know that the salmon will continue to cook after removing it from the oven. When it flakes easily with a fork in the thickest part of the salmon, it is done.
  • Cut into filets and serve.
