Ingredients

1 salmon fillet (about 8 oz / 230g) pat dry
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder or minced fresh garlic
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F/204°C.
Line a baking dish or sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Lay salmon fillet in the baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the salmon.
Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Bake at 400°F/204°C for 12-15 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: if you want a caramelized glaze, spoon any excess marinade over the salmon and broil for 1-2 minutes. **(Use aluminum foil instead of parchment paper if broiling).**
Remove from oven.
Serve warm with steamed rice, and steamed or roasted vegetables.
