Maple Mustard Salmon

There are some dinners that feel a little bit fancy but require almost no effort, and this Maple Mustard Salmon is one of them. A simple glaze of Dijon mustard, pure maple syrup and garlic transforms an ordinary salmon fillet into a restaurant-worthy meal with minimal prep. As the salmon bakes, the glaze caramelizes slightly while keeping the fish moist, flaky and packed with flavor.

One of the things I love most about this easy baked salmon recipe is that the marinade does almost all the work. After just an hour in the refrigerator, the salmon absorbs the sweet-and-savory flavors of the maple mustard sauce, creating a delicious balance that’s neither overly sweet nor overly tangy. It’s an easy weeknight dinner that’s elegant enough for entertaining and simple enough to make any time you need a healthy meal on the table.

Whether you’re already a salmon lover or trying to add more seafood to your dinner rotation, this baked maple mustard salmon recipe is one you’ll find yourself making often! It’s definitely giving my all-time favorite recipe of BBQ Salmon a run for its money!
