Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Place the 4 salmon fillets fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each fillet.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Brush the glaze generously over each salmon fillets fillet, making sure to coat the tops and sides.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. For fully cooked salmon, the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C), or 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    The glaze should be caramelized and slightly bubbling when done. If desired, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes to further caramelize the glaze.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Questions

Can I make Maple Glazed Salmon gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Maple Glazed Salmon keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through.

Can I halve or double Maple Glazed Salmon?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
