Pepper-Crusted Maple-Glazed Salmon

This is one of the easiest and most delicious preparations for salmon I know. The fish is marinated in a sweet and salty mixture of maple syrup and soy sauce, crusted with black pepper and baked in an extremely hot oven. The resulting sticky glaze is a perfect match to the rich fish.

The fish can sit in the marinade for hours without deteriorating so it's easy to throw together in the morning and cook at night......great when you're pressed for time.

I first saw this recipe years ago on the tv show The Surreal Gourmet and have seen many variations since....I always come back to this version as it's the easiest and tastiest.
