Ingredients

  • ½cupmaple syrup
  • ¼cupDijon mustard
  • ½teaspoonminced fresh thyme
  • ¼teaspoonground cinnamon
  • 2poundssalmon fillets
  • kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1tablespooncanola oil, or as needed

  • Directions

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

    Stir together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, thyme, and cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.

    Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat canola oil in a large oven-proof sauté pan over medium heat. Cook salmon in hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and brush surface generously with maple syrup mixture. Cook until bottom is browned, about 3 minutes more.

    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 10 minutes more.



    Cook's Notes:

    If preferred, salmon can be cooked in the remaining sauce after brushing. This will provide a very thick, glaze-like sauce, which will likely brown in some areas on the pan.

    Other herbs (parsley, rosemary, etc.) can be substituted for thyme if preferred.
