Ingredients:

1.5 lbs fresh salmon (wild or we love the Wester Ross at Salty Days Fish
1/2 cup quality local maple syrup
1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
4-5 cloves garlic
1.5″ fresh grated ginger
1T sesame seeds (optional)
Fresh scallions for topping
Steamed white rice
Veggie of choice (steamed broccoli, blistered green beans, whatever floats your boat!)

Method:

1. Whisk all ingredients (except scallions and salmon) and put into a baking dish or ziplock bag and add salmon.
2. Let marinate in refrigerator 1-2 hours (but I’ve done all day!)
3. Preheat oven to 400.
4. When ready to bake, place salmon in saucepan and pour remaining marinade on top
5. Grease a 9×13 baking dish and cook salmon for 18-20 minutes (depending on thickness).
6. When close to ready, bring sauce to a boil and simmer for a few minutes on the stove.
7. Plate salmon and drizzle the extra sauce over the salmon and sides. Top with scallions.
