- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp soy sauce , or teriyaki sauce
- 2 salmon steaks , at least 1-in. thick
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F (230 C). Cut leeks in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the top tough green parts of leaves. Separate layers. Rinse well under cold running water. Then, slice into 1/2-inch (1-cm) lengths. Place on heavy foil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon water, salt and pepper. Seal and place in centre of oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk Dijon with maple syrup until almost blended. Stir in soy sauce. Place salmon in a foil-lined pan. Spoon half of syrup mixture over fish.
