Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 pound salmon fillets, cut into 4 even pieces
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Marinade
In a large bowl or an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, and orange juice. Stir to blend.
Step 2: MarinatePlace the salmon fillets in the marinade, flesh side down. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3: PreheatPosition a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler.
Step 4: BroilLine a baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the prepared sheet.
Broil for about 8 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is lightly caramelized. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 5: ServeRemove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- Don’t over-marinate: Because of the soy sauce and citrus, avoid marinating longer than 2 hours to maintain the best texture.
- Watch closely while broiling: Broilers vary in strength, so check frequently.
- No broiler? Bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes instead.
- Serving ideas: Pair with steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
- Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
