Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredient

01 - 4 fresh salmon fillets (with or without skin)

→ Glaze

02 - 1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup
03 - 2 tablespoons smooth dijon mustard
04 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

→ Seasonings

05 - Salt, to taste
06 - Black pepper, to taste
07 - Paprika, to taste
08 - Dried dill, to taste (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Get your oven nice and hot at 400°F (200°C). While it's heating, give your baking dish a quick spray with cooking spray.
02 - In a small bowl, stir together maple syrup, dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined. Set some aside in a separate bowl for serving later.
03 - Place your salmon fillets in the prepared dish, skin-side down if they have skin. Brush them generously with your maple-mustard glaze, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried dill if using.
04 - Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the salmon flakes easily with a fork and looks opaque throughout.
05 - Bring it straight to the table while hot and drizzle with the reserved glaze for extra flavor.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, bring salmon to room temperature before cooking
02 - Look for salmon fillets of similar thickness for even cooking
03 - The reserved glaze adds an extra burst of flavor when serving
