Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon, generously coat the top of each fillet with the maple glaze.

Step 4

Let the salmon fillets marinate at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

For a slightly caramelized finish, switch the oven to the broil setting during the last 2 minutes of cooking, but watch carefully to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
