Maple-Soy Glazed Salmon

When Harris Teeter had a sale on Salmon fillets, I started looking for new and easy ways to prepare fish. This one is not only delicious, but simple and quick to boot. Originally from ATK, there's nothing I would change from the original recipe. We were lazy and didn't first cut the fillet into individual portions, and it turned out great.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (we prefer low sodium)
• 4 salmon filets, 6 oz each, 1-1/4" thick
• Salt and Pepper
• 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  

Instructions

With rack set to upper-middle position, preheat oven to 500F. In a small saucepan, bring the maple syrup and soy sauce to a simmer, med-high around 5 minutes until syrupy and has reduced until 1/2 cup.

Lightly oil a baking dish (I used olive oil spray on a pyrex). Wash, de-bone, and dry the salmon. Season with salt and pepper, and place skin-down into the oiled baking dish, spacing the fillets about 1-inch apart.

Bake for 5 minutes.

Brush about 2/3 of the Soy-Maple syrup onto the salmon, and continue to baste about 5 more minutes, until the fish has changed from translucent to opaque. Remove from the oven and put fish on serving tray.

Brush the fish with the remaining 1/2 of the Maple-Soy syrup, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
