Description
A sweet and tangy glazed salmon dish that’s easy to prepare for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
- as needed Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the maple Dijon glaze generously over each fillet, reserving some for later.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Brush with reserved glaze halfway through baking.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
For best results, use fresh salmon fillets. Marinate in glaze for 30 minutes for stronger flavor. Can substitute honey for maple syrup.
