Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

  • Lemon wedges
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
    In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and black pepper.
  • Step2: Marinate the Salmon
    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
  • Step 3: Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Step 4: Bake the Salmon
    Arrange the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon some of the marinade over the top. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Step 5: Serve
    Transfer the salmon to plates and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Maple syrup should be 100% pure for the best flavor and health benefits.
