    Ingredients
    Serves 4

    ¼ cup (60ml) soy sauce
    2 tbsp (25ml) cider vinegar
    2 tbsp (25ml) Chinese rice wine
    1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
    1 tbsp (15ml) finely chopped fresh ginger
    1 tsp (5ml) finely chopped garlic
    2 lb (1kg) salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
    Method

    Preheat oven to 450F

    Line a baking sheet with foil.

    Combine soy sauce, vinegar, rice wine, maple syrup, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until sauce thickens slightly. Place salmon fillets on baking sheet and cover with sauce.

    Bake for 18-20 minutes until salmon is just cooked through.

    Kitchen notes:

    - Look for Chinese rice wine in Asian food stores. White wine can be substituted, or double the amount of cider vinegar instead.
    - Don’t worry if the oven gets a wee bit smoky – that’s the sweet sauce doing it’s work. The foil-lined baking sheet makes clean up easy.
    - Serve salmon with steamed vegetables over Asian noodles or white or brown rice.
