Ingredients:

4 salmon fillets
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp molasses (optional, more syrup can be used)
2 tbsp maple syrup
Juice from 1 lemon
Zest from 1/2 lemon
Fresh ground black pepper
Pinch of kosher salt
Top with:
1 tbsp fresh basil

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 500 F. Rinse and dry fish.

Grease your baking pan with 1 tbsp coconut oil and spoon the remaining oil equally over the salmon.

Mix 1 tbsp maple syrup with 1/2 of the lemon juice, a bit of black pepper and molasses (if using only maple syrup, add a second tbsp). Spread equally over salmon.

Dust liberally with salt and pepper. Place the fish in the oven, and roast for about 8-10 minutes, until the top is nicely browned and the inside is barely done.

Meanwhile, put the remaining lemon juice and zest into a small cup and mix with the last of the maple syrup. Spoon the sauce over the cooked fish, sprinkle with basil, and serve hot.
