ingredients
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced and peeled
- 2 1⁄2 lbs salmon fillets, center cut with skin
- 1 bunch scallion, chopped
- olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and pepper (to season)
directions
- Preheat the oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil a shallow baking pan for the salmon. Halibut can be substituted for the salmon, Alaskan halibut is preferable over Atlantic which is high in mercury.
- In a saucepan, simmer the maple syrup, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, dijon mustard, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and garlic for 30 minutes. Keep the sauce warm while you prepare the fish.
- Arrange the scallions in the pan to form a bed for the salmon.
- Put the salmon, skin down, in the bed of scallions. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and pour the sauce made in step 1 over the fish. Cook the salmon in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Cut the salmon into six pieces. Arrange the salmon on top of salad greens (such as baby spinach) and sprinkle the scallions on top. Serve with a side dish such as Asian-inspired rice and with a lemon wedge as garnish.
