Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Zest from 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
  • Juice from 1 orange (about ¼ cup)
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, and maple syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the Dijon until smooth.
  • While the glaze is simmering, season the salmon with salt and pepper.
  • Place salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush some of the glaze onto each salmon fillet.
  • Cook on the top rack of the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Brush the salmon with additional glaze (you might not need all of the glaze, so discard any excess). Turn the oven setting to "BROIL" on high. Place the salmon about 4-6 inches from the broiler. Broil for 2-3 more minutes, or until the outside is crispy and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve!
