Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh salmon fillet with skin
- ⅓ cup brown mustard
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, I start with about 1 teaspoon table salt
- chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 375˚F and line a baking sheet with a large piece of foil. Set the salmon fillet over the foil and set aside.
- Make the mustard sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the brown mustard, yellow mustard, and maple syrup; whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add the sauce to the salmon. Pour the mustard mixture over the salmon, and using a pastry brush, spread the sauce evenly over it. Season with salt and pepper.
- Seal and bake. Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon to cover it, and then seal the packet completely so the sauce does not leak out. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until cooked through. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon and when its internal temperature registers at 145˚F.
- Finish and serve. Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully open up the packet. Put it under the broiler for 3 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven; garnish the salmon with parsley and serve immediately.
