Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the edges turn opaque.
Step 4: Flip the salmon and cook for another 3 minutes until just cooked through.
Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth.
Step 6: Pour the maple-mustard glaze over the salmon in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fish, until the glaze thickens and coats the salmon.
Step 7: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
