Maple‑Glazed Salmon

An elegant, lighter main featuring tender salmon fillets bathed in a golden, sweet-savory glaze—balanced, refined, and straightforward.

Ingredients: (Serves 4)

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin-on or off)

  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • Salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven
    Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

  2. Blend the glaze
    In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, soy sauce, and garlic.

  3. Season and glaze
    Pat salmon dry. Place skin-side down. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Brush fillets generously with glaze.

  4. Roast to perfection
    Roast for 12–15 minutes, depending on thickness, until it flakes easily with a fork and has a caramelized sheen.

  5. Rest briefly
    Allow salmon to sit 2 minutes before serving to let juices redistribute.
