# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredient

1⁄4 cup pure maple syrup

2 tablespoons smooth dijon mustard

# 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
