This is a wonderful quick weeknight dinner and special enough to serve for a dinner party. Serve with a green salad and nice baguettes if you are short on time. If you prefer grilling your salmon outdoors just follow the directions and be sure to oil and heat your grill before placing fillets skin side down. Cook the sauce indoors on the stove top.

Ingredients
- ⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons miso paste in 3 tablespoons warm water to combine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of one large lime
- Salmon - skin on, cut into 4 (6 ounce) fillets
Directions
- Whisk together Maple Miso ingredients and set in a pan/bowl large enough to fit salmon fillets.
- Set salmon fillets in sauce for 15 min.
- Heat pan. Add enough olive oil to just coat the bottom of pan.
- Lay salmon SKIN side down into pan. Cook salmon, without moving it, until skin starts to crisp (7-10 minutes).
- Flip, cook until flesh side browns, about 3 minutes while brushing with maple miso sauce.
- When cooked to desired doneness, remove from heat.
- *To make a glaze/sauce pour the remaining maple miso sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes or until reduced enough to drizzle over plated salmon.
