Step 1: Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season lightly with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.

Step 2: Make the Glaze In a small bowl, whisk together: maple syrup soy sauce garlic lime juice (or vinegar) ½ teaspoon fresh ginger (grated) optional: red pepper flakes

Step 3: Bake Pour about ¾ of the glaze over the salmon, making sure each piece is coated. Bake for 10–12 minutes, depending on thickness.

Step 4: Broil for That Sticky Finish

Remove from the oven, spoon the remaining glaze over the top, and broil for 2–3 minutes until the top is caramelized and glossy.

Step 5: Serve Spoon the extra glaze from the pan over the salmon before serving. Optional garnish: sliced green onions sesame seeds fresh lime squeeze
