Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.

Step 4

Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets using a pastry brush. Reserve a small amount of the glaze for later.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Halfway through cooking (around the 7-minute mark), brush the salmon with the reserved glaze for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve the maple glazed salmon with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
