Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (5-ounce) salmon fillet
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons maple syrup
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, stir together the Dijon mustard and maple syrup until smooth.
  • Place the salmon on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then spoon the glaze over the top.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

  • Even Thickness: Use a fillet that's the same thickness throughout for even cooking.
  • Apply Glaze Evenly: Use a spoon or brush to coat the salmon fully.
  • Watch closely: Ovens vary, so check doneness at the 12-minute mark.
  • Let it rest: Wait a few minutes after baking so the juices settle.
