- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a measuring glass or bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Pour a few tablespoons of the glaze into a separate bowl.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, pat them dry with paper towels, and season with salt. Brush half of the glaze over the salmon and bake for 7 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and apply the remaining glaze. Return to the oven and bake for another 7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130° F.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle the reserved glaze over the salmon. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired. Serve with rice or noodles and a vegetable side dish.
Notes
Ensure the salmon is patted dry for better glaze adherence.
