Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Maple Mustard Salmon recipe, perfect for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large, 2-pound salmon fillet
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
Instructions
- Step: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Step: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels.
- Step: In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil until smooth.
- Step: Place the salmon skin-side down and season with salt and pepper. Brush two-thirds of the glaze over the salmon.
- Step: Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily and is opaque.
- Step: For caramelization, brush the remaining glaze over the salmon and broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
- Step: Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley or dill and serve.
Notes
Use 100% pure maple syrup for best results. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the salmon fillet. Broiling adds a nice caramelized finish but requires careful monitoring.
