Description

A harmonious blend of sweet maple syrup, tangy mustard, and succulent salmon, creating a flavorful and nutritious baked dish. Ideal for both casual dinners and special occasions.


Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)

– 1/4 cup maple syrup

– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

– 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

 

  1. Prepare the Maple Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

 

  1. Season the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

 

  1. Coat with Maple Mustard Glaze: Spoon the maple mustard glaze over each salmon fillet, spreading it evenly to coat the top.

 

  1. Bake the Salmon: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the salmon for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

 

  1. Garnish and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

Ensure the salmon is properly marinated for optimal flavor. Baste the salmon during baking for a caramelized finish. Adjust maple syrup and mustard ratios based on personal taste preferences.
