Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the optimal cooking temperature for the salmon.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. This will help remove any excess moisture.

Step 3: Make the Glaze

In a bowl, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Mix well until fully combined to create a delicious glaze.

Step 4: Glaze the Salmon

Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pour the glaze generously over the fish, making sure each piece is well-coated.

Step 5: Bake the Salmon

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6: Broil for a Finish

For an extra touch, switch your oven to broil and cook the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze and add a nice crust.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Christmas salmon with your favorite sides.

Notes

Note 1: Choosing the Right Salmon

Opt for fresh or frozen salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. Wild-caught salmon is often preferred for its superior taste.

Note 2: Customizing the Glaze

Feel free to adjust the glaze ingredients to your preference. Adding herbs or spices can enhance the flavor even more.

Note 3: Pairing Suggestions

This maple-glazed salmon pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, making it perfect for a festive meal.
