Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds Salmon
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and place the salmon on the prepared sheet, skin-side down.
  • In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper. Spoon half of this glaze over the salmon evenly.
  • Bake the salmon for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Check for doneness; when you remove it, spoon the remaining glaze over the fish and return it to the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reads 145ºF.
  • Once cooked through, remove the salmon from the oven. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors of the maple mustard glaze.

Notes

  • Do not skip the glaze for the best flavor.
  • Fresh salmon makes a big difference.
  • Adjust cooking time based on thickness of the fish.
  • Pair with fresh vegetables for a balanced meal.
