Our family loves salmon prepared this way, and it's a real treat to make on a warm summer evening. These fillets may be baked in the oven at 450 degrees for 18 minutes, basting occasionally. —Wanda Toews, Cromer, Manitoba

Ingredients

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup

For glaze, mix first 4 ingredients.
