Maple-Mustard Salmon

This recipe is quick and easy, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

What You Need

• $1.5-2$ pounds of salmon (about 2 large fillets or 4 small ones)
• $1/2$ cup of maple syrup
• $1/3$ cup of whole grain mustard (the kind with seeds)
• $1/3$ teaspoon of salt
• Optional garnishes: fresh parsley, and slices of lemon or tangerine

Instructions

1. Heat the Oven: Set your oven to 375∘F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, whole grain mustard, and salt.
3. Prep the Salmon: Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the glaze over the top (the smooth, pretty side) of the fish, making sure to coat it well.
4. Bake: Bake for $12$ to $15$ minutes. The exact time depends on the thickness of your fish and how you like it cooked. The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork.
5. Serve: Garnish the salmon with a sprinkle of parsley and slices of lemon or tangerine. Serve immediately with your favorite roasted vegetables.
