Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup and Dijon mustard until smooth and well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to help the glaze adhere better.
Brush the maple mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Optional: For a caramelized finish, turn the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
