Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs salmon fillet
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Brush the glaze evenly over the salmon fillet. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For a glossier finish, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Notes
You can use frozen salmon, but ensure it is fully thawed before glazing and baking.
Serve with roasted vegetables or over a rice bowl for a complete meal.
