Maple Ginger Salmon Recipe

By ssharp
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: 40 min | Active Time: | Makes: 4 servings

This is such a great recipe and scales up for large crowds beautifully. Even fish haters (like me) love this dish!! The marinade cooks up in to a beautiful mahogony glaze that is not too sweet, with a slight Asian flare! Serve with roasted cauliflower and crusty bread and you have a perfect healthy meal!

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/4c maple syrup - best grade available
  • 2Tb soy sauce
  • 2tsp fresh ginger minced
  • 2tsp fresh garlic minced
  • 4 green onions divided
  • 1 lb salmon
  • pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 400
  2. In a 9×13 baking dish, lightly pepper the salmon on both sides. If using low sodium soy sauce, salt the salmon to taste.
  3. Slice two green onions thinly, and slice the other two in to 3/4" pieces cut on the bias.
  4. In a non-reactive bowl or measuring cup, combine the first four ingredients and the thinly sliced green onions
  5. Pour the mixture over the salmon and let marinate for 20min. You may marinate for up to 30min.
  6. Bake salmon at 400 for 20min
  7. Garnish with remaining green onion

  • I made this, exactly as described, and it was delicious. Even my non-fish eating teenagers loved it. Best of all, it's made from ingredients I usually have on hand! Great recipe - thanks!!!

  • Kwdavis - Yep, just throw the whole thing in!

  • Sounds really good. Question... after you marinate the salmon do you just pop the entire thing in the oven or do you drain the marinade? I assume since not mentioned you just bake in the marinade..... HELP

  • This does sound tasty, although I am more likely to try it out on chicken.
