How to Make Maple Salmon

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place salmon fillets (about 4, 6 ounces each) in a shallow glass baking dish.
  3. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
  4. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, flipping the fillets halfway through.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
