Baked Salmon with Maple Glaze
This Maple Glazed Salmon has been a favorite recipe of ours for years now. I cook with salmon about 2 – 3 times a month, and this recipe always makes the rotation. Salmon is not only great for you, but it’s easy to cook with little effort. Start with fresh salmon and a glass of good red wine, and make this lovely dish for friends and family, or even for that special someone.
OK, that special date, or Valentine’s Day. Candles. Check. White tablecloth. Check. Bottle of wine. Check.
Uh-oh. What about a date night in and romantic dinner? This Maple Glazed Salmon is fairly easy to make!
Like with all seafood, make sure you are getting good quality salmon, get it fresh if you can and remember that it should never smell like fish. If you can’t go out and catch it yourself check out Anderson Seafoods. 😉 They carry restaurant quality seafood and it’s delivered directly to your door.
This baked salmon recipe is very simple to make, you only need a few ingredients and you may have them right now!
You need REAL Maple Syrup, some soy sauce, garlic, and some pepper. Easy enough, huh? I do indeed recommend using the pure maple syrup.
Once you have the glaze made, it’s as easy as pouring it over your salmon, letting it marinade for about 30 minutes and baking it. This dish looks fancy, but the prep time is only about 5 minutes.
Now, here’s my Maple Glazed Baked Salmon recipe. Remember to Print It and Pin It so that you can make it again and again.

Nutrition
You may all know that I am on the WW (Weight Watchers) Blue Plan, so I thought I would share the points just in case you wanted to see what they were.
Maple Glazed Salmon WW Blue Plan Points:
- Salmon – ZERO Points
- Maple Syrup – 1/4 cup is 12 Points. If you use the sugar free it will be ONE Point. Personally, I use most of my points at dinner and would rather use the points here so that the glaze cooks up right. But you can save on the points if you would like!
- Soy Sauce – ZERO Points
- Seasonings – ZERO Points
- Total for 2 servings = 12 Points on WW Blue Plan if you use the regular maple syrup (6 WW Points per serving). Only 1 point if you use sugar free (1/2 WW Point per serving).
I hope your family enjoys this Maple Glazed Baked Salmon Recipe as much as we do!
I recommend serving this maple glazed salmon with fresh veggies or a nice salad. Salmon is a hearty fish, so you don’t need too much to fill your plate.

I love Salmon cooked in any manner and this Salmon with Maple Glaze is awesome! I am saving this recipe to make with my family.
Love this recipe. We have salmon often but usually put a little mayo and dill on top before we cook it. The Maple glaze would be different and I’m sure taste delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will try it next time I serve salmon.
This recipe looks like a keeper! Thanks so much for sharing it on the #HomeMatters Party . It’s often hard to find tasty salmon recipes and I have trouble keeping salmon from drying out in the oven. I think the maple glaze will really help.
