This simple and delicious Maple Glazed Salmon recipe features tender salmon filets marinated in a sweet and savory blend of pure maple syrup, tamari, fresh lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Broiled to perfection, it delivers a flavorful and healthy meal ready in under 45 minutes, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 salmon filets (6 oz each)

Marinade

  • 2 Tablespoons reduced sodium tamari (or soy sauce/coconut aminos)
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, tamari, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, and ground pepper until well combined. Set aside 3 tablespoons of this marinade for later use.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon filets flesh side down in the marinade, coating them evenly. Allow them to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes while you preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  3. Broil the Salmon: Position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Place the marinated salmon filets skin side down on a baking sheet. Broil for 7 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Finish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle each filet with the reserved marinade for an extra boost of flavor. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh salmon filets with skin on to help keep the fish moist during broiling.
  • Reduce marinating time if using thinner filets to avoid over-marinating and breaking down the texture.
  • Can substitute tamari with low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for dietary preferences.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
  • Keep an eye while broiling as oven temperatures can vary and the fish can overcook quickly.
