Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (1 pound total)
Maple Glaze
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined, forming the flavorful maple glaze.
- Apply Glaze and Bake: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about one-third of the maple glaze evenly over each fillet, reserving the remaining glaze for later. Bake the salmon for 15 to 20 minutes, and after the first 10 minutes, brush the salmon again with more of the reserved glaze to enhance the flavor.
- Finish and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the remaining glaze on top before serving to add an extra layer of sweetness and shine.
