Print Recipe

Soy-Maple Salmon – Sweet, salty, and simple to prepare. This easy baked salmon recipe uses maple syrup and soy sauce as both a marinade and a sauce for a quick and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 4 5–ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets (preferably wild)
  • sesame seeds, optional
  • 4 cups cauliflower florets (from 1 small head)
  • 1/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth (or use water)
  • Cooking spray
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios or almonds
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the soy sauce, maple syrup, orange juice, 2 garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons water in a large bowl; add the salmon and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, put the cauliflower and broth in a microwave-safe bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, 6 minutes.
  3. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Drain the fish, season with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until slightly golden around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and remaining garlic clove in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook, breaking up the garlic with a spoon, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and broth, the cranberries, pistachios, orange zest, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and stir to heat through. Serve optional sesame seeds with the fish.
