Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 3 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 garic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Lemon wedges (for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

Equipment

  • 1 Baking tray or skillet
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Basting brush
  • 1 Tongs

Method
 

  1. Oven/Skillet Preheat:Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or pre-heat a cast iron skillet over-medium heat and this is to get even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together sugar-free maple syrup, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), melted butter and garlic until creamy. That forms a thick, flavourful crust.
  3. Season Salmon: Dry the salmon fillets with a paper towel. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and black pepper to taste in order to bring out the natural flavours.
  4. Cook Salmon: Arrange salmon fillets on the baking sheet or skillet. Cook for 8–10 minutes or if you like it soft then cook until half done.
  5. Glaze and Finish: Generously brush the fillets with the prepared glaze. Cook another 5 minutes or so, until caramelized and shiny.
  6. Serve: Top off with lemon wedges and chopped fresh parsley. Best when served immediately, in terms of texture and taste.

Notes

  • Dabbing salmon dry yields a crisper sear.
  • Don’t overcook; remove pan from the oven when salmon is flaky, but still moist.
  • (Layer your tray with parchment paper for a hassle-free time cleaning up when you’re done.)
  • Control sweetness and add more or less sugar-free syrup.
  • Serve over cauliflower rice or with grilled veggies for a complete keto meal.
