Instructions
Creating Maple Dijon Glazed Baked Salmon is simple and straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve a wonderfully flavorful dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help achieve a perfect glaze on the salmon.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top if available.
3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Arrange the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack.
5. Add the Glaze: Brush a generous amount of the maple Dijon glaze over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Bake: Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should become caramelized and slightly bubbly.
7. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
8. Serve with Lemon: Serve the salmon warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
These steps will lead you to a moist and flavorful Maple Dijon Glazed Baked Salmon that satisfies every palate.
