Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups broccoli slaw
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and brush generously with the glaze.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the broccoli slaw by mixing it with chopped green onions, apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Toss the slaw until well combined and let it sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the glazed salmon atop a bed of broccoli slaw, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: For added texture, consider topping the slaw with toasted sesame seeds or chopped nuts.
For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of mustard in the glaze. If you’re looking for a twist, try adding a splash of soy sauce for an umami boost.
Storing leftovers? Keep the salmon and slaw separate to maintain the slaw’s crunch. Reheat the salmon gently in the oven and enjoy within two days for the best flavor.
