Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Maple Glazed Salmon:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes for maximum flavor (you can skip this step if you're in a hurry).
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place Salmon on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet.
- Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is opaque.
- Glaze with Remaining Marinade: In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the remaining marinade over the salmon for extra flavor.
- Check Doneness: Ensure that the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Let it Rest: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives for a burst of color.
- Serve: Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for a touch of brightness.
