Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

1¼ pounds salmon fillet
Pinch of salt and pepper

For the marinade:
¼ cup all-natural maple syrup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon ginger (optional)

Garnish:
2 tablespoons thinly-sliced scallions

Directions

Mix all marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down in a shallow dish. Drizzle most of the marinade over the fish, reserving about two tablespoons. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit. Remove fish from the marinade and place in a glass baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes, basting occasionally with extra marinade. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish with scallions.
