Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic.
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish, skin side down. Season with salt and pepper.
- Brush the maple glaze mixture generously over the salmon fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon slices before serving.
Helpful Tips
- If you’re short on time, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30 minutes before baking for enhanced flavor.
- For an extra crispy top, broil the salmon for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you don’t have Dijon mustard, you can use whole grain mustard or honey mustard instead. For a gluten-free option, use tamari or coconut aminos in place of soy sauce.
Pairings
This Maple Glazed Salmon pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, or garlic mashed potatoes. For drinks, consider serving it with a chilled glass of white wine or a refreshing lemon-infused water.
