Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees with the rack in the center position. Choose a baking sheet or baking dish that fits the salmon snugly (so the juices don’t disperse and burn) and line it with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet and season well with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over the salmon. If you have time, flip the salmon and let marinate directly on the baking sheet, flesh-side down, for 15 minutes.
- Step 3
Roast the salmon skin-side down until cooked through to your liking, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with extra lime or orange wedges, and drizzle the pan juices over the salmon and rice.
- The marinade can be prepared 30 minutes in advance.

I am planning to make this tomorrow, however I am wondering if the original recipe uses pomegranate molasses, which I have, rather than maple syrup.
Delicious and easy, made exactly as directed. Consider what "cooked to your liking" is and plan accordingly. Mine had 108 degree internal temperature after 12 minutes...not even edible. Had to cook almost double the recommended cooking time. Targeted 145 degree internal temp (FDA rec).
I made it with the Pomegranate molasses and it was delicious. I recommend you use that in place of the maple syrup if you have it. The recipe is a bit salty for me as written.
A winner. My salmon wasn't completely defrosted when I needed it to be so I added the marinade to defrost it faster. Worked great. Recipe great too. Comes together fast and the sauce is a tangy, savory, flavorful, just a hint of sweetness. I baked in a small parchment-lined cast iron pan.
I forgot to add salt and the recipe did not suffer at all. The soy sauce seems like enough.
I'll definitely make this again! It was a crowd pleaser.
