Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with olive oil or lining with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish and generously season with salt and pepper.
Pour the maple glaze over the salmon, reserving some for basting.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, basting with reserved glaze at the 10-minute mark.
Once done, let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve warm with lemon wedges and garnished with parsley.

Notes

For best results, choose wild-caught salmon for richer flavor and watch cooking time closely to avoid overcooking.
