Ingredients
- 1 lb Salmon, skin removed, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup + 2 tbsp to top off salmon
- 2 tbsp Coconut Amino (or Soy Sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp Red crushed pepper, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
- Prep the Salmon: Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel
- Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, grated ginger, coconut aminos or soy sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cover the salmon and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon bites in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for 10 minutes in the fridge.
- Cook the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Arrange the salmon bites in a single layer, leaving space between them. Brush or drizzle the salmon with any remaining marinade for extra flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Garnish & Serve: Drizzle 2 tbsp of reserved maple syrup on top of the salmon. Sprinkle the salmon bites with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice, quinoa, or a side of veggies.
Notes
Use Pure Maple Syrup, like this one, for the best results. (Do not use pancake syrup)
Salmon is done when it changes from its initial translucent color to an opaque (pink) color. If the salmon begins to flake but the inside is still slightly translucent in the middle, the salmon is done (fully cooked).
