Smoky Mustard-Maple Salmon

Courtesy of USDA MyPlate

It does not get much easier — or more delicious — than this ultra-fast salmon. The sweetness of the maple balances the tangy mustard; smoked paprika or ground chipotle adds another layer of flavor. When you buy your salmon, ask at the fish counter to have the salmon cut into four 4-ounce fillets with the skin removed.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons whole-grain or Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or ground chipotle pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 4 4-oz skinless, center-cut, wild-caught salmon fillets

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.
3. Combine mustard, maple syrup, paprika (or chipotle), pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
4. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Spread the mustard mixture evenly on the salmon.
6. Roast until just cooked through (approx. 8-12 minutes).
