Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic gloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices of lemon for garnishing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 4o0 F degrees.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 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.
