Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp This is an affiliate link.maple syrup
- 2 tbsp This is an affiliate link.whole grain mustard
- 1 clove garlic pressed or minced
- 1 tbsp dill chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 x 125g(4oz) salmon fillet pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. In a small bowl combine the maple syrup, whole grain mustard, garlic, chopped dill and salt.
- Arrange the salmon pieces on a parchment paper lined shallow pan, brush the salmon pieces with the glaze making sure the sides are also covered, not just the top of the salmon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Apply more glaze halfway through.
- You can also cook this salmon in an air fryer at 200C/400F for 8 minutes.
Notes
- To use a whole side of salmon rather than individual fillets, follow the recipe and cook for 20-25 minutes instead of 10.
- I will only skin uncooked salmon if I’m using it in a pasta dish. For this kind of salmon recipe, cook it first and then the skin will peel right off.
- Salmon needs very little oven time. The temp should be high and the time short. 10 minutes is enough, trust me! If you have concerns, test the centre of the fish with a thermometer, it should be between 45 to 50C (110 to125F). Don’t serve dry fish!
- Brush the top AND sides of the salmon with the maple mustard glaze.
- Wholegrain mustard can be replaced with Dijon if that’s more to your taste. But steer clear of American mustard- too sour!
- You could also make use of your air fryer here. Follow the recipe as written but reduce the cooking time to 8 minutes.
