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!
