Servings: 8
Calories: 273kcal
Equipment
- 1 baking tray
- 1 sheet parchment paper
- 1 food thermometer
Ingredients
- 2 pounds 0.9 to 1 kg salmon filet (fresh preferred)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Slice the salmon filet into chunks around 2 inches or 5 cm big. (2 pounds of salmon can be divided into roughly 16 pieces of salmon chunks.)
- In a bowl, toss the salmon chunks with salt and maple syrup until evenly coated.
- Preheat oven to 400 F / 200 C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, then distribute the salmon chunks onto the parchment lined baking tray. The salmon chunks should be spaced out to not touch each other. If there is leftover maple syrup in the bowl, pour this evenly over the salmon chunks.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes. Test for doneness with a food thermometer. The internal temperature should be around 145 F / 63 C.
- If you don’t have a cooking thermometer, break open the largest piece of salmon to test for doneness. The salmon should easily flake and should have changed color into a lighter pink.
