Maple Mustard Baked Salmon 🍯🐟
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
- Avocado oil or olive oil cooking oil spray
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbsps maple syrup or raw honey
- 3 tsps apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp grass-fed butter or ghee
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 2 skinless salmon filets
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place your sweet potato slices on the prepared pan and spray or mist lightly with cooking oil.
- Season with sea salt and pepper, to taste.
- Roast for 15-18 minutes, or until just beginning to become tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the maple syrup, vinegar, butter, mustard, garlic, and pepper flakes.
- Simmer for 3-4 minutes while whisking constantly, or until it's reduced by half and thickened a bit.
- Once your potatoes are done, remove from the oven, flip potatoes over, and create some space on your sheet pan for the salmon filets.
- Baste the salmon generously with your maple-mustard glaze and roast for 10-12 minutes, or just until the salmon is flaky and the sweet potatoes are golden-brown.
