This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion and is sure to impress family and friends with its delicious taste and beautiful presentation.

Ingredients:

6 tbsp maple syrup
120g
4 tbsp soy sauce
70g
32 oz salmon
910g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of maple syrup and 4 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
2. Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the maple soy mixture over the salmon, ensuring all fillets are evenly coated.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For best results, allow it to marinate for 1-2 hours.
3. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Lightly oil the foil or paper to prevent the salmon from sticking.
5. Bake the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down (if the fillets have skin).
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6. Optional Glaze:
- For an extra glossy finish, you can brush the salmon with additional maple syrup during the last 2 minutes of baking.
7. Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the maple soy glazed salmon hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Use fresh salmon for the best results.: Fresh salmon will give you a more tender and flavorful dish compared to frozen salmon.

- Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes.: Allowing the salmon to marinate will help the flavors penetrate the fish and result in a more flavorful dish.

- Watch the cooking time closely.: Salmon can overcook quickly, so keep an eye on it to ensure it stays moist and tender.

- Use a meat thermometer.: Cook the salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to ensure it is fully cooked but still juicy.

- Baste the salmon with the glaze.: Brushing the glaze onto the salmon during cooking will help build layers of flavor and give it a beautiful, shiny finish.

With its harmonious blend of sweet and savory flavors, maple soy glazed salmon is a truly satisfying dish. Whether you're an experienced cook or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is straightforward and yields a delectable result every time. Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy the compliments that will surely come your way!
