Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush or spoon the maple mustard glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Optional: Turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to caramelize the glaze slightly for added flavor and texture.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
