Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel.
Brush the mustard maple glaze generously over the salmon fillets, ensuring they're evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Optional: For a slightly caramelized finish, broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables, a side salad, or your choice of starch like rice or quinoa.
