The Best Marinated Salmon (Or Steelhead Trout) With Maple Walnut

• 1 large salmon fillet (may sub steelhead trout)
• Marinade
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice (blood orange works well too)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons maple-flavored syrup (I used light butter flavored pancake syrup)
• Sauce
• 1/4 cup margarine (I used light margarine with no issues)
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons maple-flavor syrup
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (may sub pecans)

1. Place fish filet in a gallon resealable plastic bag.
2. Wisk together the OJ, soy sauce, honey and syrup.
3. Pour marinade over the fish, seal the bag, place it in a container (in case the bag has a small leak - you never know) and put it in the fridge to marinate.
4. I like mine VERY marinated, so I let mine marinate for 6 hours. 4 hours is probably a great starting point for the first time you make this recipe and then go up or down from there in the future based upon your taste buds.
5. Line a baking sheet with foil and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. NOTE: If you fish has skin, then do not grease the foil. If your fish has had the skin removed, you MUST grease your foil.
7. Cut filet into 4-6 pieces (depending on the size of your filet), place fish on the baking sheet with the smaller pieces (such as the tail part) in the middle - and putting skin side down on the foil. Discard the marinade.
8. Cook fish at 350 degrees (uncovered) for approximately 20-30 minutes depending on how you prefer your fish cooked (20 minutes will be more medium while 30 minutes will be pretty well done).
9. About 5 minutes before the fish is done, you can warm up the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over medium heat just until the sugar is melted - then turn the heat to low.
10. Remove the fish from the oven, then remove each filet from the foil with a spatula (leaving the skin stuck to the foil), plate up the fish and pour the sauce over the top.
11. Enjoy!
