Description

A delightful twist on salmon with a sweet and savory glaze made from maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (total 1 lb)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced


Instructions

  1. Combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl to create the glaze.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish or directly into a hot skillet.
  3. Pour the glaze over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  4. If baking, bake for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through; if searing, cook for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, basting with remaining glaze.
  5. Remove from heat and let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For richer flavor, marinate the salmon in the glaze for 30 minutes before cooking. Experiment with different mustards or add sesame seeds for garnish.
