Ingredients...

• 1 lb whole salmon filet, skin on, or pieces
• Kosher or sea salt + freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Sarafino Golden Maple Syrup
• 2 to 3 tbsp Sarafino Lemon Dill, Maple, Apple, Whole Grain or Apple Raw & Sprouted Mustard

Method...

1. Preheat oven or barbecue to 375 F or medium high.
2. Place salmon, skin side down on a piece of parchment paper or foil (if grilling) and lay on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. 
3. In a bowl, mix together maple syrup and mustard. Generously coat salmon with mustard using the brush or the back of a spoon.
4. Oven Instructions: Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Barbecue Instructions: Place foil on preheated grill. Cover with lid and grill until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Note: Individual filets of salmon will cook faster than a whole filet.
