Instructions
- 1
Heat your oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2
Whisk the birch syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil together in a small bowl.
- 3
Set the salmon fillet on the sheet pan. Brush it generously with the glaze.
- 4
Roast for 12-15 minutes. Brush with more glaze halfway through cooking.
- 5
Set the oven to broil for the final 2 minutes to brown the glaze. Watch closely so it does not burn.
- 6
Take the sheet pan out of the oven. Let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes.
- 7
Top with sliced scallions before serving.
Chef's tips
Birch syrup burns faster than maple syrup, so watch it closely while broiling. Its rich flavor is very strong, so a little goes a long way.
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently in a low oven to avoid drying the glaze.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Broiling for too long and burning the sweet glaze.
- •Using too much birch syrup, which can overpower the salmon.
