In Epi's 3-Ingredient Recipes series, we show you how to make great food with just three ingredients (plus staples like oil, salt, and pepper).
A quick marinade infuses the salmon with sweet, herbaceous flavor and transforms it into a stunner of an entrée.
Ingredients
3
tablespoons olive oil
2
tablespoons maple syrup
1
teaspoon ground cardamom
1
(1 1/2-pound) skin-on salmon fillet
2
teaspoons kosher salt
Dill sprigs (for serving; optional)

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 275°F. Whisk oil, maple syrup, and cardamom in a small bowl. Place salmon in a large baking dish and brush with cardamom syrup on all sides. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes.
Step 2
Season each side of salmon with 1 tsp. salt. Bake until salmon is firm but still pink in the center, 22–25 minutes (if you prefer salmon more well done, cook an additional 5 minutes).
Step 3
Flake salmon into large pieces and arrange on a platter. Top with dill, if using.
