Description
A simple yet delicious salmon dish with a savory and sweet maple glaze, perfect for busy weeknights.
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
- Combine the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a bowl to create the glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish or on a hot skillet.
- Pour the glaze over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- If using the oven, bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. For stovetop, sear one side for about 5 minutes, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes, basting with the remaining glaze.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Baste the salmon while it cooks for enhanced flavor. Let salmon marinate in the glaze for at least 15 minutes before cooking for better taste.
