Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on) on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Brush or spoon the maple mustard glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Step 6
Optional: Turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to caramelize the glaze slightly for added flavor and texture.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
