Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

I love to bring a little salmon into my diet, especially in the summer months. It’s such a lean source of protein with great natural flavor. If you’re at all scared of fishy flavor or fishy odor, this salmon recipe is such a great starting point.

Not only is it so easy, ready in only 20 minutes, but the flavor this dish delivers is so stellar. The mustard offers a little heat that’s calmed by the syrupy sweetness of some maple syrup.

Never Cooked With Salmon?

Salmon has a mild flavor, with a nice meaty texture. It is a really great base for a lot of flavorful sauces such as honey mustard, teriyaki, or even delicious dill. It’s a great lean protein that doesn’t require too much reworking to turn into a beautiful dinner. This dinner is super simple and will make fish addicts out of any who try it, so let’s get into it!

Ingredients In Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Salmon – One large fillet cut into 6 equal pieces.
  • Butter – The simple base of our sauce that gives some richness savouriness to our dish.
  • Maple syrup – It’s not too difficult to get some nice good quality syrup up here in Canada, but for those who live elsewhere who have trouble tracking it down honey can be used in its place.
  • Mustard – I used grainy Dijon mustard today as I find it adds a nice interesting heat and cooks well in this glaze.
  • Soy sauce – The salt component of our dish today.
  • Seasoning – Just some pepper, no need for extra salt!

How To Make Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

Detailed measurements and instructions can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page.

  • Preheat your oven: To 425 F degrees, arrange your salmon on a 9 X 13 inch baking dish.
  • Mix your sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, maple syrup, mustard and soy sauce. Pour over salmon. Add some freshly ground pepper, if preferred.
  • Finish the dish: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork. Serve hot garnished with parsley if you’d like!

How To Serve Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

This dish goes so well with many side dishes. I love to eat it alongside some:

  • Roasted broccoli
  • Lemon orzo with asparagus
  • Italian roasted mushrooms and veggies
  • White beans with bacon and herbs
  • Harvest rice

Whichever side dish you pair with it, from one of my flavor packed recipes to simple steamed veggies, this salmon is sure to be a hit any night of the week!

How To Store Leftover Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon

Salmon doesn’t have a very long shelf life, so be sure to eat it quickly. In the fridge it will keep for up to 2 days stored in an airtight container. In the freezer this dish will last from 3 – 4 months in an airtight container. Allow to thaw in its container overnight in the fridge or in cold water. The glaze will keep for up to 4 weeks stored in its own airtight container in the fridge.

    Great recipe. I make it often for guests since it’s so easy. Only modification is that I also add fresh ground ginger since that is a favorite flavor of mine.

    Hi Jo
    I actually made this for my toddler who stopped eating fish a few months ago so wanted to re-introduce salmon/fish again to him and he loved this dish. It was really great for the whole family so thank you. I would highly recommend this to any mom looking for a simple and delicious meal for your entire family especially if you have a little person who is a bit picky.

    I had 3 lbs of fish and doubled the ingredients for the sauce. Oops. I hope that’s ok. There is alot of liquid. Anyone else do this

      More sauce won’t be an issue at all! There could’ve been extra moisture coming from the fish as well. You can use as much as you like to serve and discard the rest.

    How can I adjust this recipe for 2 people instead of 6?

      You can either use less fish, or cut your portions into larger sized pieces and cut the ingredient amounts in half!

    I have never baked salmon before and this was just amazing- sweet but tart hints. Tossed in some carrots alongside.
