Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 cups peaches, diced, skin on
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon green onion, minced
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 tablespoon herbs (e.g. chives, parsley, cilantro)
Instructions
- Heat Oven: Heat oven to 425F/218C. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with oil for easy clean up.
- Marinate Salmon: Put maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and pepper in a sealed bag. Squish to blend. Add salmon. Marinate salmon for 20 minutes.
- Make Salsa: Place all salsa ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
- Make Glaze: Remove salmon from marinade and place it on a baking sheet. Pour marinade from bag into a small microwavable bowl. Add cornstarch and whisk to blend. Microwave for 45 seconds to thicken glaze. Pour over salmon, reserving 1 tbsp to glaze after roasting.
- Bake Salmon: Place salmon skin side down on prepared pan and bake for 8-12 minutes or until just flaky and still warm pink inside. Brush with remaining glaze after baking.
- Serve: Place roasted salmon on a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with peach salsa on top or on the side.
Notes
Variations: Can be made with trout, halibut, or sea bass. Substitute peaches with nectarines. Shortcuts: Use store-bought fruit chutney or frozen ginger/garlic cubes. Make ahead: Refrigerate cooked salmon for up to 2 days and serve cold or at room temperature.
