The salmon, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, is coated in a mixture of cracked peppercorns and salt, then pan-seared to perfection, resulting in a crispy crust and tender, juicy flesh. The maple glaze, made from pure maple syrup, butter, and a touch of lemon juice, adds a beautiful sheen and irresistible sweetness to the salmon, making it an ideal choice for a special occasion or a romantic dinner.

Tips:
- To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, preheat your oven to the correct temperature before placing the salmon in.
- To get a crispy crust, make sure to pat the salmon dry before coating it in the peppercorn mixture.
- Use a good quality maple syrup for the glaze. This will give the salmon a rich, sweet flavor.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to spread the glaze on the salmon.
- Keep an eye on the salmon while it's baking. You don't want it to overcook and become dry.
