Maple mustard glazed salmon with black pepper

This delightful Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon recipe is perfect for those who appreciate the combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The dish features a succulent salmon filet glazed with a mixture of maple syrup and mustard, then seasoned with a touch of black pepper. With its easy preparation and delicious taste, this recipe is ideal for both weeknight dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp maple syrup
20g
1 tsp mustard
5g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
12 oz salmon
340g
1 tsp vegetable oil
4.67g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of maple syrup with 1 teaspoon of mustard. Stir until well combined.
3. Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Place it on a clean plate or cutting board. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over both sides of the salmon.
4. Apply the Glaze: Brush the maple mustard mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet.
5. Heat the Skillet: Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Sear the Salmon: Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the salmon fillet in the skillet, skin-side down (if your fillet has skin). Sear for about 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh starts to brown.
7. Transfer to the Oven: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Rest the Salmon: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes.
9. Serve: Transfer the salmon to a serving plate. Serve immediately, pairing it with your favorite side dishes.

Tips:

- Ensure the salmon is fresh and of high quality for the best results.

- Preheat your oven or grill to ensure even cooking.

- Allow the salmon to marinate in the maple mustard mixture for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.

- Cook the salmon skin-side down to prevent sticking and to create a crispy skin.

- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.

With minimal ingredients and an effortless cooking process, this Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon is a guaranteed winner. The sweet maple syrup beautifully complements the tangy mustard and the bold black pepper, creating an exquisite balance of flavors. Serve this delicious salmon with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
