Maple Glazed Salmon

I love how few ingredients it takes to prepare this delicious salmon dish. And it's so easy!

* If you're avoiding soy, try substituting coconut aminos in place of the tamari.

YIELD 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

4 salmon filets (3-6 ounces each)

For Glaze

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons tamari sauce

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place filets, skin side up, in an oiled baking dish
  2. Whisk together glaze ingredients and pour over filets (lifting fish a bit to allow marinade underneath) - allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but ideally several hours, flipping fish once halfway through (should be skin-side down now)
  3. Preheat oven to 400F and bake uncovered 15-20 minutes, or until fish easily flakes with a knife
