A quick roast at high heat is one of the breeziest ways to cook salmon. Stir together a tangy stone-ground mustard glaze and brush it over the fillets: You'll be done with prep before the oven finishes preheating.
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoons stone-ground mustard: 2 piece
- maple syrup: 1 Tbsp
- lemon juice: 1 tsp (fresh)

- fresh thyme: 0.25 tsp (minced)
