Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (around 3 cloves)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil in a medium mixing bowl until well blended.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the maple glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve some glaze for basting later if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Baste with the reserved glaze halfway through cooking for added flavor.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Pat salmon fillets dry before seasoning for better glaze adhesion. Broil for a minute if a char is preferred.
