Marinade Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all of the marinade ingredients until thoroughly combined.
2. Place 1 lb of salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Coat the salmon evenly on both sides with the maple Dijon marinade.
3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to absorb.
4. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet and discard any excess marinade.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
7. Serve with desired sides and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

The sweet maple and savory Dijon mustard complement each other perfectly in this easy salmon marinade. The touch of garlic and black pepper adds extra flavor. This marinade helps keep the salmon moist and tender as it bakes. Enjoy!
