Maple Mustard Salmon

Salmon is a staple in our house and we eat it at least once a week.  My little people love it as well...phew!  Our favourite way to season it is with a little mayo, Dijon and Dill or Tarragon.  The fish stays moist and it has a little layer of flavour on top.  Way too easy.
I decided to live on the edge and mix it up a little.....I added maple syrup.  Yep, that's living on the edge.  It took our very basic but delish salmon up a notch and added a subtle sweetness that mingles with the Dijon beautifully.  Oh, did I mention this comes together in seconds flat? 



Maple Mustard Salmon

Serves 3

3 5oz pieces of Salmon
1 tbsp light or regular Mayonnaise (do not use fat free)
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard (regular or grainy)
1 1/2 tsp good Maple Syrup
generous 1/4 tsp dried dill or 2 tsp fresh chopped dill

Preheat the oven to 425F.  Place the salmon in an oven proof dish.  Combine the Mayo, Dijon, Maple Syrup and Dill in a small bowl.  Spread evenly over the salmon.  Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until just done.  Don't overcook.
