Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skinless salmon fillets (about 125g/4oz each)
- 1/4 cup light soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon in a large bag or shallow dish. Add half the marinade, reserving the rest. Marinate for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

- Bake for 10–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily.
- Simmer reserved marinade in a saucepan until slightly thickened. Spoon over baked salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot.
Notes
Swap maple syrup for honey or brown sugar. Use cod or trout instead of salmon. Don’t over-marinate—15 minutes is perfect!
