How to make maple mustard salmon

  • Salmon: I like to use fresh salmon from the seafood counter (any variety).
    • But you can also use frozen salmon that has been thawed under cold water or in the refrigerator.
    • Be sure to pat it dry before preparing.
  • Dijon mustard: Your favorite brand, such as Grey Poupon or Maille.
  • Maple syrup: The real stuff – this detail is important!
  • Broccoli: A big bag of florets or chop up a head.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Add broccoli to the baking dish and coat with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast for 8-10 minutes. Remove baking dish from the oven, slide the broccoli over and place salmon filets in the baking dish. Season salmon with salt and pepper.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Pour about ¾ of the mixture evenly over the salmon filets.
  5. Roast salmon and broccoli for 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets, just until salmon just barely flakes with the pressure of the back of a fork.
  6. Optional: Broil on low for 2 additional minutes to give the salmon a crispy top (Caution: Do not overcook the salmon. It’s overcooked when it’s dry and rubbery.)
  7. Serve salmon and broccoli with the remainder of the maple mustard sauce.
