Broiled Maple-Soy Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, preferably grade B
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 6-oz. center-cut salmon fillets, pin bones removed

Directions

1. Add the maple syrup, soy sauce, and lemon juice to a 1-quart saucepan and warm it over medium-high heat until it begins to gently bubble. Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook until the mixture thickens to a syrupy glaze, 7 to 10 minutes.
2. Set an oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element, then turn the broiler to high. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
3. Arrange the salmon on the prepared foil with the skin side down. Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper.
4. Broil the salmon for about 3 minutes, just until it starts to look opaque.
5. Coat each piece well with the maple glaze, then slide it back under the broiler until the salmon is done the way you like it, 7 to 10 minutes for medium, when the center will still be dark pink. Brush on the rest of the glaze right away and serve.
