Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) chopped fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (optional, for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, ground black pepper, and salt to make the marinade.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Evenly pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, making sure they are well coated.
Step 4
Let the salmon sit for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
