Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 450°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Place salmon, skin side down, on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

2 In small bowl, stir syrup, vinegar and garlic with whisk. Brush half of the glaze over salmon.

3 Bake 10 minutes. Brush with remaining glaze. Bake 5 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork. Garnish with onions.

Honey can be substituted for the maple syrup.

For a thicker glaze and more intense flavor, heat syrup mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat for a few minutes before brushing over the salmon.
