Salmon with Maple Syrup and Mustard
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (or 200 °C fan). In a bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce and crushed garlic to make a flavorful maple-mustard glaze.
- 2
Pat the fillets dry with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Baking
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and sear the fish for about 2 minutes on each side until golden.
- 4
Transfer to a baking dish and pour the maple-mustard marinade over it.
- 5
Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
- 6
Serve immediately with steamed rice or green salad. It also pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes or blanched broccoli.
More tips:
Add the maple syrup only after searing, at too high a temperature in the pan the sweet component could burn.
Instead of Dijon mustard, you can use wholegrain mustard, which gives the marinade a more interesting texture and a slightly stronger flavor.
