1. Prep
When you're ready to cook the fish, preheat your oven to 375°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with foil for easy cleanup. Check the salmon for any bones and use tweezers to remove them if found. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels; this ensures proper glaze adhesion. Season the fish with salt.
2. Marinate
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, whole-grain Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. This combination creates a glaze that will caramelize on the salmon, offering a delightful contrast of flavors and textures. Pour the marinade over the fish in a plastic bag, making sure that it's fully coated. Place the bag in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
3. Bake
Remove the fish from the marinade and place the glazed salmon fillet on the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes. The exact time will depend on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has a slightly translucent center.
4. Finishing Ingredients
Once out of the oven, plate the salmon with lemon wedges and serve.
