Pepper-Crusted Maple Glazed Salmon

INGREDIENTS:

½ cup maple syrup
¼ cup soy sauce
2 medium-sized fillets
¼ cup coarsely ground pepper
Vegetable oil or peanut oil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix together maple syrup and soy sauce in a deep bowl or Ziploc bag.

2. Stick salmon fillets in the maple syrup and soy sauce mixture, making sure they are completely covered in the marinade.

3. Marinate for 24 hours.

4. Preheat oven to 500°F.

5. Rub vegetable oil or peanut oil on baking sheet.

6. Place coarsely ground pepper on a plate.

7. Remove salmon from marinade and place top side down on to the pepper to coat.

8. Place salmon fillets pepper side up on oiled baking sheet.

9. Bake for about 10 minutes (depending on the size of the fillets). Avoid overcooking the salmon. The syrup will cause the fillets to smoke a little – this is ok.

10. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
