Ingredients

• 4 pieces (approximately 6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Water
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Sesame seeds
• 2 stalks (sliced, optional for garnish) Green onions

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the marinade over each piece, reserving about 2 tablespoons for later.

Step 4

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.

Step 5

While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan.

Step 6

Cook the marinade over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a glaze. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush the thickened glaze over the top of each fillet.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the salmon for garnish, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
