Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon
Description
The recipe begins by preheating the oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. The glaze is prepared by mixing Dijon mustard, maple syrup, melted butter (or ghee), and minced garlic. Salmon fillets are seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper before being brushed generously with the glaze.
Placing the salmon on the baking sheet, it is baked for about 12 minutes until cooked through and flakes easily when tested. The glaze caramelizes slightly, adding both moisture and a balanced sweet-savory flavor. The garlic imparts a gentle pungency enhancing the mustard and maple syrup combination.
This dish pairs well with simple side dishes such as steamed vegetables or grains. Attention to uniform thickness of the fillets ensures even cooking. Leftovers can be stored airtight and gently reheated to preserve texture. Making the glaze ahead of time and refrigerating helps streamline preparation.
