Baked Maple Glazed Salmon:
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and grated ginger until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze, reserving some for later.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets, so keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- About halfway through the cooking time, brush the salmon fillets with the remaining maple glaze for an extra layer of flavor.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the baked salmon hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley or green onions. It pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
