Sweet Mustard Maple Salmon

Hi,

This is a recipe that has stood the test of time. It's fancy enough for when you want to impress your friends, but easy enough to make for yourself for dinner. Salmon is a bit expensive, so watch for when it goes on sale!

Salmon steak (These are the ones that still have the bones in the middle. You can buy one steak per person if they're big eaters or if you want to have leftovers)

You can double the marinade recipe as you have more steaks. This is enough marinade for 2 steaks. Line a pyrex baking dish or another oven safe baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper. If you do this clean-up will be much easier.


3 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons maple syrup (use the real stuff)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Place the above ingredients in the baking dish and mix together with a spoon. Salt and pepper the salmon on both sides. Add to the baking dish, turning the steaks to coat both sides in marinade. If you have the time, let the salmon marinate in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Bake the salmon in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

The salmon goes really well with a big salad and some sauteed veggies.

Hope you have fun making this!

Hugs,
