Ingredients

2 boneless salmon fillets
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 210°C / 200°C fan oven / 410°F.
Combine the maple syrup and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet, skin side down. Pour the glaze over the fillets, carefully to avoid it dripping straight off. Use a party brush if you have it available. Season with some pepper, and bake the salmon in the oven.
The salmon takes 10-15 minutes to cook, depending on the size of the fillets. It's ready to eat when you're able to easily flake the salmon with a fork.

Notes

If you have time, you could add the glaze to the salmon and leave it to marinate for up to an hour. This will allow the flavors to set a little bit better. I usually skip this step and just make it straight away - which also tastes really nice. If you want it perfect though, I recommend leaving it in marinade first.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 4 to 6 months. You can freeze leftovers, thaw them and add to salads, sandwiches or other dishes.
I prefer to use boneless fillets, but bone-in ones work too.
If using frozen salmon fillets, make sure to thaw them thoroughly before cooking.
