Baked Salmon

Thinking of IKEA, I remembered I sometimes get the salmon. I’m not a huge salmon fan, but I like to eat it once in a while. The important part is to use the right spices to compliment it. The recipe I’m using today for baked salmon should have enough punch for you.

Baked Salmon

Servings 2 people

Equipment

Oven Tray

Cutting board

Sharp knife

Ingredients

• 2 filets Salmon (500g)
• 1 lemon
• 2 cloves garlic
• parsley
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

• I’ll start by preheating the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius).
• Cut the lemon in two and squeeze the juice into a bowl.
• Then add the cinnamon. This spice will help bring all the other flavors together.
• Crush the garlic and add it to the bowl.
• Next, add the Dijon mustard, the maple syrup and the olive oil, then mix until everything is evenly combined.
• Put a baking sheet in an oven tray, then lay your salmon fillets into the tray.
• Then pour the sauce over the salmon, using a spoon.
• Last, put the tray into the oven and bake the salmon for 20-25 min.
• Once cooked, put it on a plate and sprinkle some chopped parsley over the salmon. Serve with boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, or any wild berry jam and some lemon wedges.
