Salmon is one of our family’s favourite things to eat – even our kids enjoy it – and this Easy One Pan Maple Glazed Salmon is one of my favourite ways to prepare it! Salmon is not only super tasty, but it also cooks quickly which makes it a fantastic option for an easy meal on a busy weeknight!
How to Cook Salmon
My favourite way to cook salmon is in my tried and true Cast Iron Pan! It provides the perfect sear and caramelization on the outside of the salmon and it holds the heat evenly, reducing the maple glaze as the salmon cooks. A combination of stove-top browning and oven-baking is the best way to get salmon that’s crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. And once it flakes with a fork, it’s done!
How to Make Maple Glazed Salmon
This Easy One Pan Maple Glazed Salmon is perfected by a simple Maple Glaze that’s made with just a few basic ingredients. Just whisk together some maple syrup, soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil, garlic, ginger and a splash of Sriracha (optional) and pour it over the browned salmon fillets. The sauce reduces slightly as the salmon bakes in the oven and becomes a delicious sauce!

Easy One Pan Maple Glazed Salmon
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- 6 3-4 ounce boneless skinless salmon fillets
- salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup real maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- a dash of Sriracha (optional)
- fresh chives and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat a large cast iron (or other oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat and add the oil.
- Season the salmon fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the hot pan, top side down.
- Let brown until caramel-coloured on the first side (about 2 minutes) and then flip to brown on the other side.
- While the salmon is browning, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and Sriracha in a small bowl and pour it over the salmon fillets.
- Add the whole pan to the preheated oven, uncovered, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes with a fork.
- Spoon the maple glaze over the salmon again before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped chives, if desired.

Could you use this as a marinate? Then, then cook in Air Fryer?
Chrissie says
I’m sorry, I don’t have an Air Fryer, so I can’t comment on whether or not this would work.
Heather Washburn says
Made this tonight. Had fantastic flavor and was super quick and easy. Cook time was perfect as I don’t like my salmon over done. However as soon as the dish came out of the oven the glaze quickly became very tacky and then hard. I couldn’t eat it without risk of chipping a tooth. I had to clear it off the salmon. Fortunately the flavor remained in the salmon itself and was still good. Any way to avoid this? I would like to make again.
Chrissie says
It sounds like maybe your maple syrup wasn’t pure. When additional sugar is added to maple syrup (pancake syrup) it hardens when cooked much more than maple syrup.
Jill says
PERFECT recipe, especially for someone who isn’t completely sold on fish. Totally delicious, even with garlic powder in place of garlic cloves.
Really wish I could post the picture of how beautiful this dish turned out!
Chrissie says
I’m so glad you loved it!! Thanks for taking the time to comment! 🙂
Martin Cirino says
Sounds yummy. We love salmon at our house. I usually do an olive oil and lemon juice marinade with oregano and parsley flakes and I want to try out this recipe to do something different. I have one question, do you remove the skin from the salmon before cooking?
Chrissie says
I do remove the skin 🙂
Chris says
This was absolutely superb. Btw, I flash sautéed bok choy, let it rest while I sautéed the salmon, then added the bok choy to the pan as I put it in the oven for 7 minutes. Awesome!
The Busy Baker says
I love that addition! So glad you liked the recipe!
lolly says
I made this tonight. It’s probably the 2nd time in my life that I cooked salmon, the first time being a total failure (overcooked).
I was nervous, but this recipe was a breeze. I am trying to incorporate more fish in our diet and this is perfect,
The Busy Baker says
So happy to hear that it turned out delicious and that this recipe made you consider incorporating even more fish in your diet! Thank you Iolly!
Jo says
This was so delicious. Changed my husband’s mind about salmon. Next time I’m going to copy Chris with bok Chou. Thank you.
The Busy Baker says
Glad to hear he liked it so much!!🙂
Caitlin H says
Hi there! The first few times I made this it was sooo good and just perfect. Lately when I have made the recipe, the glaze burns off by the time I take it out of the oven. I don’t think I have changed anything and I am very careful about following measurements with this recipe. Could it be the Trader Joe’s organic maple syrup I’m using? Just wondering if you know what I could be doing wrong since I LOVE this recipe and want to get it perfect again
Chrissie says
If you’re using Maple Syrup that has a high water content then that can definitely affect the recipe and how it turns out. I’d recommend using a high quality Maple Syrup and read the ingredients to make sure it’s pure 🙂
