Ingredients
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1/4 cup coarsely ground black pepper (Grind it yourself, or purchase "cracked" pepper at your grocery store)
- 1/2 teaspoon peanut (or other vegetable) oil, or a spritz of oil spray
Method
- In a re-sealable bag or a small deep bowl, mix maple syrup and soy sauce.
- Arrange fillets so that marinade completely covers fish.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for as long possible (a minimum of 4 hours, but ideally 24 hours to do it justice).
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Rub oil on a 10 by 10-inch sheet of aluminum foil.
- Place pepper on a small plate.
- Remove salmon from marinade and pat topside only into cracked pepper to coat.
- Place fillets, pepper side up, on foil.
- Bake on the top rack of the oven for approximately 7 minutes.
- (Syrup may cause fish to smoke when cooking, do not be alarmed.)
- Salmon can also be grilled directly over hot coals for about 3 minutes per side.
- But do not even think about using a microwave.
- Avoid overcooking the fillets.
- Salmon is best when the color has turned to a pale pink, but the fish is still moist throughout.
- Serve immediately on warmed plates.
