Calling for less than half a dozen ingredients — many of which you likely already have at home — who knew staying healthy would be this delicious? 

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup, mustard, and masala blend together.

Step 2

Make sure to rinse each fillet of salmon. Pat, it dry so it’s ready to be cooked.

Step 3

Use either a sheet pan with aluminum foil or a baking pan for the oven to bake the salmon. First, place the salmon fillets down on the pan. (Pro tip: Make sure you place them with the skin-side down.)

Step 4

Once you’ve placed the fillets on the pan or baking sheet, go ahead and generously coat the salmon with the blend you prepared earlier. Save a portion of the remaining marinade for later.

Step 5

Let the salmon sit in the marinade for at least 20 minutes, during which you can pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees.

Step 6

On medium-high heat, pour the remainder of the marinade and reduce it until it has thickened to a syrup-like consistency. Once you’ve reduced the marinade, set it aside.

Step 7

Bake your salmon until it is pink on the center but opaque on the edges. Reheat the marinade quickly, pour over your cooked salmon, and serve!
