Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1 minced garlic clove until combined.
Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Season each with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then brush evenly with the maple-lemon glaze.
Step 3: Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and glaze is caramelized. Remove from oven, sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill over the top, and serve warm with roasted vegetables or rice.
