This is a very quick recipe to make; just remember to start marinating the salmon the day ahead. You can easily half or double the amounts.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6 as an hors d'oeuvre

Ingredients

1 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup soy sauce
24 ounces skinned salmon fillet
1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
vegetable or canola oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut salmon into bite-size cubes. Combine maple syrup and soy sauce in a medium-size bowl and add salmon, making sure the fish is fully immersed in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.

    Step 2

    Grease a sheet of aluminum foil with the oil (vegetable oil sprays work well). Preheat oven to 500°F. Put pepper in small bowl or plate and dip top of salmon pieces into pepper. Place each peppered piece on foil, then cook in oven for 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
