Salmon is a beautiful and versatile fish that is packed with health benefits, including the healthy Omega 3 fatty acids and nutrients. Apart from its health benefits, this oily fish has a wonderful taste that is enjoyed by people worldwide and is ranked amongst the top fish in the culinary world. Salmon can be found easily in supermarkets, and here in Singapore, Salmon can be found in supermarkets such as Cold Storage, FairPrice etc. So, let's jump straight into this mouthwatering recipe!
Ingredients
1 pound Salmon (Preferably a fillet)
1/4 cup Maple Syrup (less according to taste)
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1-2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
Procedure
1. Whisk the maple syrup, soy sauce garlic powder, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a small glass bowl. This is the marinade for the fish.
2. Place the salmon is a baking dish, and pour the marinade evenly over the salmon. Cover it, and put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, and after flipping the fish, for an additional 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200 C (400 F), beforehand.
4. Put the baking dish in the oven after pre-heating and bake for around 20 minutes for a salmon fillet, and around 15 minutes for a tail, as I used. This is because the tail is thinner than the fillet.
The Verdict
This recipe is simple yet delicious, and requires only the basic ingredients in any household. The flavours of this dish are wonderfully brought out with the sweetness of the maple syrup and the saltiness of the soy sauce, contrasting wonderfully with each other. Just a note, if you are not a fan of sweetness, I suggest putting less maple syrup, as it can be quite overpowering. These flavours are executed only with the help of the smoky, salty garlic flavours in the marinade.
This recipe is wonderful for friends, family or just when you want to enjoy it by yourself and also, useful when you are out of ingredients and too lazy to get to the supermarket and stock up. Hopefully this recipe is one of the many to come, and please comment on whether you would like more recipes. Also tell me how this recipe tasted and also how it could be better. Also, stay tuned to my blog and expect posts of more diversity, and as always, suggestions are always welcome.
