**Serves:** 4 people

## Ingredients

- 4 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or your preferred hot sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Chopped scallions and red pepper flakes for garnish

## Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, hot sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the spicy maple glaze.
3. Place the fresh salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the olive oil lightly over the fillets, then generously spoon the spicy maple glaze over each piece to coat evenly.
4. [Bake](https://news.freshaig.com/baking-seafood/) in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon turns a vibrant opaque pink and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Remove from the oven and let rest for 3 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh scallions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before serving alongside your favorite [wholesome](https://news.freshaig.com/seafood-is-wholesome/) greens.
