Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 pound salmon fillets (cut into 4 even pieces)
Instructions
- In a large bowl or 8x8 inch baking dish, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, and orange juice until combined.
- Add the salmon fillets flesh side down into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- When ready to cook, position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place skin side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Broil for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don't skip the foil: The maple syrup in the marinade will caramelize and stick to the pan without it.
- How to tell when it's done: The salmon should flake easily with a fork and be opaque throughout.
- Marinating time: 30 minutes is the minimum but 1-2 hours gives a deeper flavor if you have the time.
- Leftovers: great served cold over a salad or rice bowl the next day.
