This dish is perfect for those cozy nights in when you want something sweet, spicy, and oh-so-satisfying. The combination of maple syrup, chili powder, and soy sauce creates a flavor profile that will have your taste buds dancing with joy. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (approx. 600g)
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, chili powder, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush each fillet generously with the spicy maple glaze. Make sure to coat the salmon evenly to ensure maximum flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the salmon to remain moist and tender.

Plate the Spicy Maple Glazed Salmon and garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy every delicious bite!
