Instructions

Combine the olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce in a bowl and set aside.
Place the salmon fillets in a plastic bag. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the remaining marinade into the plastic bag.
Massage the fish in the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Remove the fish from the marinade and discard the used marinade. Place the fish in a single layer in a shallow, foil-lined baking pan.
For medium doneness, bake for 8 to 10 minutes or broil 6 inches below the broiler until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If the fish is browning too quickly, turn off the broiler to finish cooking.
Meanwhile, bring the reserved marinade to a boil, stirring frequently until slightly thickened.
Serve the fish topped with the thickened marinade sauce.

Notes

Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the salmon fillets and desired doneness.
For a crispier top, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
