Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, generously coat the top of each fillet with the maple glaze.
Let the salmon fillets marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
For a slightly caramelized finish, switch the oven to the broil setting during the last 2 minutes of cooking, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
