Ingredients

1 lb side of salmon
⅓ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce coconut aminos for paleo/gf
3 tablespoons water optional; see note 1

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F.
Arrange salmon skin side down on a large piece of foil set on a sheet pan (make sure you have enough foil to completely wrap the salmon up). Fold the edges of the foil up slightly to keep the sauce from running out.
Shake together the maple syrup and soy sauce, then drizzle all over the salmon. Seal the foil so the sauce + salmon are enclosed. You can marinate the fish at this point for 30 min- 2hours, or put it directly into the oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking fish with an instant read thermometer. For well done, cook to 145°F. For medium, cook to 125°F. If you have individual fillets, they may be done quicker, so be sure to check them earlier.

Notes

note 1- if you'd like to make this without the foil, you can bake it up in a baking dish (make sure to use one that is not too big for the fish because sauce can over-reduce), but you'll need to add 3 tablespoons of water to prevent the sauce from over-reducing.

Storage

After cooking, store salmon in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheat

Heat in a 350°F oven in a covered baking dish for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.

Doneness

well done- cook to 145°F internal temperature
