- 1/4 cup Maplecrest Farm Infused Maple Syrup
- 2 TBS soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp. garlic salt
- 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1 lb. salmon
- 2 tsp. butter
- 1/4 tsp. sesame seeds
- Pan spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, garlic salt and black pepper. Add salmon to bowl and coat with maple syrup mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning once after 15 minutes. Then, remove salmon from marinade and place on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Place it in the oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes with a fork. While salmon is baking, pour remaining syrup mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, add butter and sesame seeds and bring to a boil. Allow to boil 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly and set aside. When salmon is cooked, pour heated maple syrup mixture over salmon and serve.
