Maple Dijon Glazed Salmon Recipe
Maple Dijon glazed salmon is that recipe you serve when you want applause without actually doing Michelin-star labor in your kitchen.
The maple syrup gives it sticky sweetness, the Dijon mustard adds sass, and together they’re basically the Beyoncé and Jay-Z of glazes.
It roasts into a glossy, caramelized finish that looks restaurant-worthy but only takes less time than your skincare routine.
This dish screams cozy autumn vibes yet works for summer dinners when you’re pretending you live your best Pinterest life.
Serve it once, and boom—you’re officially “the friend who cooks fancy salmon.”
