Bake tender salmon fillets coated in a sweet and savory maple glaze for a quick, healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, pepper, and salt. This creates your sweet and savory glaze.
  3. Lightly brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Brush half of the maple glaze mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the remaining glaze over the fish.
  7. Return the salmon to the oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should look slightly caramelized.
  8. Serve immediately. This recipe is a great alternative to ordering from meal delivery companies.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can briefly broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning the maple syrup.
  • If you are following a keto meal plan, substitute the maple syrup with a sugar-free alternative like monk fruit syrup.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted asparagus or a simple side salad.
