Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan lined with parchment paper
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 basting brush

Ingredients
  

Salmon and Glaze

  • 4 salmon fillets skin-on
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Optional Vegetables

  • 1 cup asparagus trimmed
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup Brussels sprouts halved

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared sheet pan.
  • Generously brush the glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Arrange the optional vegetables around the salmon on the sheet pan.

Serving

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the salmon with the roasted vegetables, and pair with a side of quinoa or a crisp salad for a complete meal.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Serve: Pair with quinoa or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
