Maple Soy Glazed Salmon

 Originally found on receipezaar.com
Ingredients

* 1/2 cup maple syrup
* 1/4 cup soy sauce

* 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets (1 1/4 inches thick)
* 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Directions

1
Adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the oven to 500°F Bring the maple syrup and soy sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the mixture is syrupy and measures roughly 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes.

2
Meanwhile, remove any pin bones from the salmon. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and lay it skin-side down in a lightly oiled 9x13-inch baking dish, spaced about 1 inch apart. Bake for 5 minutes.

3
Using a pastry brush, spread a thick layer of the maple-soy glaze over the tops and sides of the salmon. Continue to bake until all but the very center of the fish has turned from translucent to opaque, about 5 minutes longer. (If you like it well-done, you may want to cook it for longer.).

4
Brush the fillets with another layer of glaze and sprinkle with the sesame seeds before serving.
