Salmon is a staple fish in my house, especially when it is baked. It is a type of fish that my whole family loves to eat because it is very healthy. I am constantly looking for new recipes and other ways of preparing salmon. My favorite way of preparing salmon is to bake it in the oven because it is easier to clean up and is healthier than pan frying it. I have tried many salmon dishes but not all have been appreciated and enjoyed by the whole family. Maple mustard baked salmon is a dish my whole family really enjoys. It is sweet, succulent and delicious. I will definitely add this dish to my list of family’s favorite recipes. I hope you’ll enjoy this simple and easy dish as much as my family does!

Sounds delicious! Do you bake it covered, or uncovered?
Liza
Hi Caroline,
I baked the salmon uncovered for 12 minutes and it turned out just right, tender and succulent 🙂
Karla
I was wondering, what is old style prepared mustard? Thanks!
Liza
Hi Karla,
Old style prepared mustard or whole grain mustard (grainy mustard)is where the mustard seeds are mixed whole with the other ingredients. It is available in a bottle at any local supermarket.
