Bake salmon fillets coated in a simple, balanced glaze of maple syrup and Dijon mustard for a sweet and savory main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined. This is your glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spoon or brush about half of the glaze mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
  6. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining glaze over the salmon to create a thicker coating. Watch closely to prevent the maple syrup from burning.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For thicker fillets, you may need to add 2 to 3 minutes to the baking time.
  • If the glaze seems too thick before brushing, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds.
  • Serve with roasted asparagus or a simple green salad.
