Description
A quick and healthy dish featuring succulent salmon fillets marinated in a sweet and savory maple-soy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Let it marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through and caramelized.
- Transfer the salmon to a serving plate. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the salmon for up to 30 minutes. Substitute honey for maple syrup if desired. Ensure your skillet is hot enough for proper caramelization.
