4 servings
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- 1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or avocado oil)
- ¼ tsp salt
For the glaze
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
For serving
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the glaze in a separate small bowl or saucepan and set aside — this portion will be used as a finishing sauce and must not contact the raw fish.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the remaining glaze over them. Turn to coat, then marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
