Ingredients

For the Salmon

2 pieces salmon fillets Look for bright, vibrant color and a fresh smell.

For the Glaze

2 tablespoons maple syrup Can substitute with honey or agave nectar.
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Spicy mustard or whole grain mustard can be used.
1 tablespoon soy sauce Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
1 tablespoon olive oil Avocado oil can be used as an alternative.
to taste Salt and pepper Season adequately for best flavor.
for serving pieces Lemon wedges Squeeze fresh lemon juice over salmon before serving.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Cooking

Place the salmon fillets on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Generously brush the maple mustard glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon before serving.

Notes

Store leftover salmon in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at low temperature for best results.
