Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon
I love to bring a little salmon into my diet, especially in the summer months. It’s such a lean source of protein with great natural flavor. If you’re at all scared of fishy flavor or fishy odor, this salmon recipe is such a great starting point. Not only is it so easy, ready in only 20 minutes, but the flavor this dish delivers is so stellar. The mustard offers a little heat that’s calmed by the syrupy sweetness of some maple syrup.
Never Cooked With Salmon?
Salmon has a mild flavor, with a nice meaty texture. It is a really great base for a lot of flavorful sauces such as honey mustard, teriyaki, or even delicious dill. It’s a great lean protein that doesn’t require too much reworking to turn into a beautiful dinner. This dinner is super simple and will make fish addicts out of any who try it, so let’s get into it!
Salmon – One large fillet cut into 6 equal pieces. Butter – The simple base of our sauce that gives some richness and savouriness to our dish. Maple syrup – It’s not too difficult to get some nice good quality syrup up here in Canada, but for those who live elsewhere who have trouble tracking it down honey can be used in its place. Mustard – I used grainy Dijon mustard today as I find it adds a nice interesting heat and cooks well in this glaze. Soy sauce – The salt component of our dish today. Use low sodium if possible. Seasoning – Just some pepper, no need for extra salt!
Let me walk you through this Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon recipe. It’s incredibly easy to make, and trust me, the results are absolutely divine. You’ll be amazed at how a few simple steps can turn this dish into a real crowd-pleaser! First things first, let’s crank up the heat. Set your oven to a toasty 425℉. In a small bowl, let’s whip up our star glaze. Combine the melted butter, maple syrup, grainy mustard, and soy sauce. Give it a good whisk until it’s all blended. Now, take your beautiful salmon fillet and cut it into 6 equal pieces. Place these pieces in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Drizzle that glaze generously over the salmon fillets. If you’re a pepper fan, now’s the time to sprinkle some on. Pop the baking dish into the oven and let it bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
