Effortless Elegance

This Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon is the ultimate solution for a busy evening. The combination of sweet pure maple syrup and zesty Dijon mustard creates a glaze that caramelizes beautifully in the oven.

Not only is it delicious, but it’s also a nutritional powerhouse. High in protein and healthy fats, this dish is a cornerstone of heart-healthy eating. Best of all, you only need one bowl and one pan.

Season & Coat: Place salmon fillets on the tray. Season with salt and pepper, then brush the glaze generously over each piece.

🌿 Pro Tips

Don’t overcook! Salmon is done when it reaches an internal temp of 145°F and flakes easily with a fork.

✨ Variations

Spicy: Add a teaspoon of Sriracha or red pepper flakes to the glaze for a “Hot Honey” vibe.

Chef’s Note: We recommend serving this alongside roasted asparagus or over a bed of quinoa to soak up every drop of that incredible glaze.
