Ingredients

For the Salmon

  • 2 pounds salmon
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 large mango, diced (about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper (about ½ a bell pepper)
  • ¼ cup diced red onion
  • 1 jalapeno, steam and seeds removed, diced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (about 1 teaspoon minced garlic)
  • ½ tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • Juice of ½ a lime (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Combine all the mango salsa ingredients for the mango salsa in a large bowl and stir. Set to one side.
  • Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, water, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Cook over medium heat. Simmer for 6 to 8 minutes, until it is thick and has a syrup-like consistency.
  • Put the salmon on the prepared baking sheet, placing the salmon skin side down. This will help it not stick to the paper. Sprinkle onion powder over the top of the salmon, then drizzle a thick layer of sauce over the salmon, brushing it so it is evenly spread.
  • Bake salmon for 10 minutes, brush with another thick layer of sauce and bake another 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
  • Transfer the salmon to a large serving platter and serve with mango salsa over top.

Notes

  • If you prefer a crispier salmon, you can broil the salmon in the last 2 to 5 minutes of cooking. Watch the salmon carefully so the sauce does not burn.
  • If making this ahead of time, store salmon and salsa separately in the refrigerator to keep both as fresh as possible.
