Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, olive oil, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create the glaze.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Brush a generous layer of the maple chipotle glaze over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

(Optional) Turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to caramelize the glaze and add a touch of char.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the salmon warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
