Salmon with Maple Syrup and Soy

1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and ground black pepper
500g fresh salmon

Remove skin and bones from salmon.  Lightly score the flesh to enable marinade to penetrate.

In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. 

Place salmon in a shallow glass baking dish, and coat with the maple syrup mixture. 

Cover the dish, and marinate salmon in the refrigerator for approx 30 minutes, turning once. 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F [200 degrees C]. 

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven, and bake salmon uncovered 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork.

Serve with lightly sauteed fresh vegies: bok choy, broccoli, asparagus ...
