Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless (nutrition facts are calculated for skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (ensure no HFCS)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (ensure no added garlic or onion)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley (optional, for garnish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
  2. Make the Maple Mustard Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Prepare the Salmon:
    Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush each fillet generously with the maple mustard glaze, reserving a little for later.
  4. Bake the Salmon:
    Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
  5. Finish and Serve:
    Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle the remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Low FODMAP-Friendly Notes

  • Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup with no high fructose corn syrup to avoid added sugars or artificial ingredients.
  • Mustard: Dijon mustard is a great option for this recipe, but make sure it doesn’t contain any high FODMAP ingredients like garlic or onion.
  • Salmon: This recipe works with skin-on or skinless fillets. If using skin-on, you can easily remove the skin after baking.
  • Herbs: Fresh thyme or parsley adds a nice finishing touch, but feel free to skip or substitute with another herb of your choice, like basil or dill
