Drescription

Dijon and maple syrup make one of the easiest and tastiest glazes for tender, flavorful salmon fillets. Cilantro adds a nice note of freshness, but you could also use dill or parsley if you prefer. This recipe is super easy, and you can even prep the salmon ahead, coating it with the glaze, and just popping it in the oven for an almost effortless dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • four 5-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Mix together the mustard, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro, the mayonnaise and maple syrup in a bowl. Put the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread some of the mustard mixture evenly over each fillet.
  3. Bake until just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro and serve.
