Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Skin-on salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (finely chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (divided) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, and thyme until well combined.
Spread the maple mustard mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the salmon rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with fresh lemon wedges for a bright, zesty finish. Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
