Special Notes and Tips:

  • Fresh cilantro adds a vibrant touch to this dish. However, if cilantro isn't to your liking, feel free to substitute with fresh dill or parsley for a different flavor profile.
  • For those who like to plan ahead: You can marinate the salmon with the mustard-maple mixture in advance and refrigerate. When you're ready to dine, simply pop it in the oven for a hassle-free meal.
  • Pair this dish with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
