Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Salmon or trout fillets
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 4 wedges Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon or trout fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Brush the glaze generously over the top of each fillet, reserving a small amount of glaze for basting during cooking.

Step 5

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and easily flake with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Halfway through the cooking time, baste the fillets with the reserved glaze to enhance the flavor and create a glossy finish.

Step 7

Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.

Step 8

Transfer the fillets to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, if desired. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Step 9

Enjoy your delicious maple glazed salmon or trout with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
