Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined, creating a flavorful glaze.
  2. Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the glaze over the salmon, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get ready for baking the salmon.
  4. Bake the salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Simmer the reserved glaze: While the salmon is baking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.
  6. Glaze and finish baking: Brush the thickened glaze generously over the baked salmon fillets. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes to set the glaze.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately for a delicious and visually appealing meal.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcook the salmon to retain its moist texture.
  • You can substitute tamari or coconut aminos for soy sauce to make it gluten-free.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity based on your preference for spice and warmth.
  • Allow the glaze to simmer and reduce properly for a thicker consistency that coats the salmon well.
  • For added zest, serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
