Description

A quick roast at high heat is one of the breeziest ways to cook salmon. Stir together a tangy stone-ground mustard glaze and brush it over the fillets: You'll be done with prep before the oven finishes preheating.

Ingredients

2 1/2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
6 (6 ounce) frozen salmon fillets, thawed and patted dry
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with foil.
2 Whisk together mustard, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, and thyme in a small bowl.
3 Season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper and brush with oil. Arrange salmon on prepared baking sheet. Brush with mustard mixture.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.
