Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it's heating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to facilitate easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pure maple syrup, low-sodium soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed and well combined.

      Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet with the skin side facing down. Lightly season the tops of the fillets with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Drizzle half of the prepared marinade over the salmon, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Cover the remaining marinade and set it aside for later. Allow the salmon to marinate at room temperature for about 15 to 30 minutes.

        Sear the Salmon: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Sear the fillets for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy and golden brown.

          Transfer to the Oven: Using a spatula, gently transfer the seared salmon back to the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of each fillet with the reserved marinade. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon reaches a cooked-through state and flakes easily when tested with a fork.

            Final Glaze: For an extra glaze finish, switch on the broiler setting of your oven and broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning, ensuring a perfect caramelization.

              Serve: Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and allow it to rest for a minute. Plate the maple-glazed salmon and serve alongside lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.
