Description

A quick and flavorful Maple Mustard Salmon recipe featuring a sweet and tangy glaze, perfect for a healthy dinner option.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
  4. Spoon the maple mustard glaze over the salmon, coating each piece evenly.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 15–30 minutes before baking.
  • This recipe pairs well with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
  • Use fresh wild-caught salmon for the best results.
