Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillets on the sheet and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the top. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Brush the glaze evenly over the salmon.
Step 3: Cook salmon for 12-15 minutes until the flesh is opaque and the glaze is caramelized. Remove from oven and set aside.
Step 4: In a medium pot, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add rice, salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender.
Step 5: Fluff rice with a fork and stir in chopped dill. Serve rice alongside the salmon, garnished with additional dill.
