In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.
Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over each salmon fillet, coating them evenly.
Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Garnish with lemon and fresh thyme.
Notes
It’s important to pay dry the salmon so it browns nicely instead of steaming in the oven.
Do not over bake the salmon as it'll become dry! Salmon is done when it gets at the minimum internal temperature of 145˚F. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
I recommend getting wild-caught salmon over farmed salmon.
To store: Store leftover maple-mustard salmon in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
To reheat: You can reheat salmon in the microwave.
To freeze: Freeze in a freezer-safe bag once the salmon fillets have reached room temperature. Freeze for up to 4 months.
