Instructions
1-Getting started: with this Maple Soy Glazed Salmon is excitringly simple, and the marinade is where the magic begins. First, combine the marinade by mixing 3 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce or gluten-free soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sriracha hot sauce, and 1 clove of smashed garlic in a bowl. Let the salmon fillets marinate in this mixture for at least 220 minutes to soak up all those flavors, making the fish juicy and full of taste.
2-Next, preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and pat the 4 salmon fillets dry for a nice sear. Place them on a lined baking sheet and brush with olive oil to help with crispiness. Then, generously brush the marinade over each fillet before popping them in the oven for 12-15 minutes until they flake easily with a fork.
3-For an extra touch, baste the salmon halfway through cooking to lock in that glossy glaze. Once done, let it rest for a minute before serving with your favorite sides like veggies or rice. If youβre looking for more recipe ideas, our Gluten-Free Recipes section has plenty of options to try next.
