Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by greasing it with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and olive oil until combined.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
