Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Bake the Salmon: Bake the marinated salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Broil for Extra Flavor: For added caramelization, switch your oven to broil during the last couple of minutes of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve & Enjoy: Transfer cooked salmon to plates and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the baking sheet. Serve alongside steamed vegetables or rice.
