Maple Dijon Salmon

Always looking for new and quick recipes, so my cousin's hubby, Alex, hooked me up with this recipe and it was delicious!! My kids scarfed it right up too!!!

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

1lb skin on salmon filet

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon EVOO

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Using aluminum foil, line a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon and lightly coat the foil with nonstick spray.  Place the salmon in the center.  With a paper towel, pat it dry, then sprinkle the salt over the top.

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the oil, maple syrup, and mustard.  Pour over the salmon.  With a pastry brush rub mixture over the top of the salmon so that the surface is coated.  Let the salmon stand at room temperature for 10 minutes while the oven continues to preheat.

Bake until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily at the thickest part.  8-12 minutes for a thinner fillet.  20-22 minutes for a thicket fillet.  You can also use an instant thermometer to test for doneness, removing the salmon when it reaches 145 at the thickest part.
