Maple Glazed Salmon

Adapted from Food.com

My Boyfriend (CK) became obsessed with a pre-marinated Maple Salmon, available at a market near our (old) house. Not willing to travel across the city for this coveted fish, I took it upon myself to find a suitable or *cough* superior, alternative.

I forgot to add the garnish before the picture.. my apologies!

I think this is it. The glaze is thick and the ginger balances the soy sauce perfectly. The garnish of green onions and almonds adds a nice crunchy texture as well. 

A word to the wise: I strongly recommend throwing some tin foil in your baking pan before adding the salmon. My glaze baked onto the pan something fierce and required a good soak to get it off.

• 3 tablespoons real maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch , dissolved in 1 tblsp warm water
• 4 salmon fillets (or 2 large)
• 1 green onion , sliced thin (white part plus about 2-3 inches of the green)
• 1 tablespoon toasted sliced almonds (optional)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl whisk together the syrup through cornstarch solution until smooth.
2. Place the fillets skin-side-down in a shallow baking pan.
3. Pour the syrup mixture over the salmon.
4. Bake about 15-18 minutes at 450°F until the fish flakes easily; baste with glaze halfway through cooking.
5. Sprinkle with green onion and almonds before serving.
