Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 1¾ lb salmon fillet
  • ¼ cup real maple syrup
  • ¼ cup whole seed mustard
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the salmon in a large baking dish, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
  • Make the marinade by combining the maple syrup and mustard. 
  • Pour the marinade over the salmon, cover with plastic wrap, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil, then coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Remove the salmon from the marinade and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, being careful not to overcook.
    Side Note: Check the fish by gently poking through the fillet with a fork to see if it flakes apart.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy.
