Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon fillet
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup stone ground mustard
  • 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray a casserole dish with cooking oil.
  • Place the salmon fillet in the casserole dish and brush lightly with avocado oil. Sprinkle salmon with paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, and sea salt.
  • Pour the stone ground (or whole grain or Dijon) mustard over the salmon and spread with a knife or spoon until the flesh is evenly coated in mustard. Note: for maple mustard salmon, mix mustard and pure maple syrup in a small bowl to spread over the salmon.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 15-20 minutes. Switch the oven to the high broil setting and broil 5 minutes, or until salmon is crispy. Salmon is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the fish to check for doneness. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes.
