Ingredients
Scale
- 20 oz. fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet or 4 (5 oz.) individual fillets
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. fresh minced garlic, about 2 cloves
- Fresh minced parsley, for garnish, optional
- Kosher salt and fresh black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the salmon in a 9×13 baking dish. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and fresh black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic until smooth.
- Pour the maple mustard glaze over the salmon, using a spoon or brush to coat the top and sides evenly.
- Bake for 8-14 minutes, depending on fillet thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Check for doneness around 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, let rest for 1-2 minutes, and garnish with fresh minced parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Wild salmon cooks faster (8-10 minutes) than farmed salmon (12-14 minutes) due to its leaner texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- My weeknight go-to: This glaze is so easy, it’s perfect for busy evenings!
