Maple Dijon Salmon

This is one of the easiest weeknight dinners! The salty, sweet combination is the perfect pairing with salmon, which is a fatty (good fat) fish. Also, cooking the salmon at a lower temperature allows the fish to retain moisture and oils — keeping this delicious flavor in.

Ingredients:

(Serves 2)

  • 1 lb salmon

  • 1 tbsp grainy mustard

  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1/2 tsp fresh thyme

  • 1/2 lemon, sliced

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F

  • Place the salmon in a baking dish. Season it with salt and pepper.

  • Meanwhile, combine mustards, maple syrup, and thyme in a small bowl. Spread evenly on top of the salmon. Place lemon slices on top.

  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until salmon easily flakes. Serve with extra lemon wedges.
