Maple Mustard Salmon

Maple Mustard Salmon pairs sweet maple syrup with tangy stone-ground mustard, brightened by lemon and thyme for a balanced glaze that caramelizes in a hot oven. The fish stays juicy and flaky, with subtle garlic and herb notes. It’s a quick weeknight main that also works well for casual entertaining.
