With a touch of maple syrup, a hint of lemon, and the aromatic presence of fresh dill, this dish is bound to become a family favorite. It’s not only delicious but also nutritious, making it a guilt-free indulgence. Dive into the details of this mouthwatering recipe below.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 lbs salmon filet (3-4 pieces – fresh)
• ¼ cup maple syrup (real)
• 2-3 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed – about ½ lemon)
• 1 tbsp dill (chopped fresh)
• ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tbsp grainy Dijon mustard
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper (plus more for seasoning)
• ⅛ tsp kosher salt (plus more for seasoning)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Marinade

Begin by creating a flavorful marinade. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the maple syrup, lemon juice, dill, Dijon mustard, grainy Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended.

2. Reserve Glaze for Basting

Measure out 3 tablespoons of this glaze and set it aside. This portion will be used later for basting the salmon, ensuring a rich, glossy finish.

3. Marinate the Salmon

Pour the remaining marinade into a shallow dish. Gently place the salmon pieces, flesh-side down, into the marinade. Be careful not to get the marinade on the salmon skin. Allow the salmon to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, letting it soak up all the delicious flavors.

4. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) to preheat while the salmon marinates.

5. Bake the Salmon

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on an oiled or parchment-lined baking sheet, flesh-side up. Discard the used marinade. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.

6. Broil to Finish

After 10 minutes, remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the reserved 3 tablespoons of glaze. Switch the oven to broil and return the salmon to the oven for an additional 2 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

7. Rest and Serve

Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer it to a plate. Cover loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 10 – 15 minutes. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a tender and moist salmon.

8. Final Touches

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with slices of lemon for an extra citrusy kick.
