Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon – 4 ingredients turn this salmon into a super star. A healthy and delicious salmon, glazed with maple syrup and grainy mustard.
I should add super simple to the title of this recipe because that’s just what this is and best of all it’s ready in just 20 minutes and requires only 5 ingredients that you probably have in your pantry or fridge right now.
MY LATEST VIDEOSBeing on my forever quest to eat healthier I bought a beautiful piece of salmon fillet from my local grocery store. I cut this piece of salmon in 6 fillets and made a wonderful glaze with butter, maple syrup, mustard and soy sauce.
I love the simplicity of this recipe and make it often. I love to serve it with this roasted broccoli or this lemon orzo with asparagus.
I hope you guys try this recipe, because it’s one of our favorite here. The salmon makes for a perfect weeknight meal for when you want something quick but still full of flavor, delicious yet healthy.
When you take this salmon out of the oven, it will smell heavenly. The salmon is super flaky, and the flavors are amazing.

- 1 1/2 lb salmon fillet cut into 6 equal pieces
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp grainy mustard I used Dijon Wholegrain Mustard
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- pepper to taste
Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees.
Arrange the salmon fillets in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, maple syrup, mustard and soy sauce. Pour over salmon. Add some freshly ground pepper, if preferred.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until salmon flakes with a fork.
This sauce would also work great on other types of fish as a red snapper or cod.

Look this recipe, use it every time a cook salmon
It’s great, isn’t it? One of my faves too!
it tastes good!!!
Fabulous flavor!! Always delicious and great entree for company.
Will this recipe work if I substitute olive oil for the butter? (Trying to cut down on the saturated fat).
Yeah I think it will be fine with olive oil.
This is a certainly a great recipe and the sauce goes well with it. My husband loves it very much and I have since made it a few times now. Never failed. Love it!! Thanks
My pleasure, Jenn!
I had extra sauce left over and put it on roasted broccoli. What a meal!!
Wonderful! Have made similar recipe without the butter and soy sauce before, but these ingredients seem to mellow the flavors and give it a richness that would not be there without. Glad your recipe came up in my search results (becuase I can never remember what temp to cook it at!!). Will be added to my recipe rotation! Thank you!
I prepared a “Surf & Turf” meal for our stay-at-home Valentine’s Day dinner, and this was the surf. I am not a fan of seafood, but my husband really enjoyed this. He’s looking forward to the leftovers for dinner tonight. I followed the directions without changing anything. And the sauce!! Thanks for a quick and easy recipe.
Easy and delicious! The sauce was fabulous over brown rice. A keeper.
I can’t wait to try this! I know you have an instant pot – do you think this could be made in it? If so, how long would you cook it?
Basically you can cook anything in an instant pot, but so far I’ll be honest and say that I used it mostly for it’s pressure cooker ability. I don’t know if I’d cook fish in it, since fish cooks fairly quickly. However you could use the saute mode for it if you really wanted.
I have been craving salmon. This looks delicious!
Hi Jo,
This is beautiful. I am going to try this out.
This is a follow-up to my post of November 26.
In the end, I went with the Pinot Noir, figuring that as both it and Dijon mustard hail from the same region, Bourgogne (the Côte d’Or, in fact), they must be compatible – and they were!
Re your recipe: 5 stars, without hesitation!!
And, had I the authority, I would also bestow a Michelin star upon you!!!
À la prochaine.
Aw, thank you!!!!
I can’t rate this recipe yet, because this evening will be the first time I’m trying it. But judging from all the rave reviews, I have no doubt I’ll be awarding it 5 stars!!
What I want to know is, what would be your recommendation for an appropriate wine pairing. I usually drink Pinot Noir with salmon, but both the mustard and the maple syrup give me pause. A Chardonnay? A Riesling? Or my tried-and-true Pinot?
By the way, I’m from Montreal, and will be using a “Canada #1” maple syrup from a local producer my wife happens to know We buy a box of 8 cans from him every Spring!
Go Stamps Go!!
LOL I’m not a wine connoisseur, but both a Chardonnay or a Riesling sound good to me, but I’m more of a white wine drinker than red. 🙂
Made this tonight, and followed the recipe. Delicious!! Also very easy to make. Thanks so much. I’ll be making this often. I’m not really a salmon eater, it I will be with this recipe.
Sorry, I meant to check off all stars, but posted too soon
I generally do not enjoy cooking and is always looking for simple, fast and easy dishes. I love salmon but needed different ways of preparing it and have tried several other recipes and have enjoyed them all. Yours, however is my favorite, so far. The only modification I made was to use oyster sauce instead of soy. Thanks for sharing(:
Thanks for commenting and glad you tried it out and made it your own with using the oyster sauce.
I wish i could give 10 stars! Love love love this glaze! I used horseradish grainy mustard, and added garlic and ginger powder! Superb!
OMG…I love this recipe, so easy and tastes great. Through some veggies in the oven to roast, we had carrots, brussel sprouts, carrots, asparagus and mushrooms drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lemon pepper and wild rice to round off the meal. It’s a family favourite!!!
Best Recipe ever. Make lots of the sauce because you will want to drink it! Thank you!
So glad you liked this recipe!
I have to laugh as I was watching TV, the becel commercial came on and I was like I need to try that, googled maple mustard salmon and yours was the first site I opened, trying it tomorrow.
