Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and place the salmon fillets skin-side down.
  4. Generously pour the maple glaze over each fillet, making sure they are well coated.
Cooking
  1. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

Try experimenting with different types of fish like trout or halibut with the maple glaze. Be cautious not to overcook the salmon, and feel free to top it with sesame seeds for a delightful crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to one month.
