Pepper Crusted Salmon

I really like using Maple Syrup with Salmon, the natural sweetness of the syrup really seems to go well with the fish in this dish.  Since we make our own syrup I enjoy finding recipes that use it.  Based on a recipe from Food and Drink 2012.

2 tbsp Maple Syrup
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 salmon fillets
1/8 cup fresh coarsely ground pepper
2 tsp canola oil

In a shallow dish, combine maple syrup, soy sauce and garlic.  Place salmon fillets in marinade.  Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.

Place ground pepper on a large plate.  Remove salmon from marinade and firmly press fillet into pepper.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over high heat.  Place Salmon in pan, reduce heat to medium and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork.
