- Prep the oven so it heats to 425F, and set the rack in the middle of the chamber. Then, arrange the salmon fillets in a properly spaced manner inside a baking dish.
- Mix the salt, garlic, maple syrup, and mustard in a small bowl, stirring, so it’s even. Then, generously spoon the spice mix all over the salmon.
- Clove the container with foil and pass it into the oven. Then, let it cook for 15 minutes. Confirm doneness by poking a knife into the fillets. If the knife easily pierces them, they’re ready. You may notice a slight resistance, but it’s normal.
- Gently remove the foil cover- it’ll be quite hot- and keep roasting the fish till the salmon flakes when poked with a fork. This tenderness should be obvious by eight to 10 minutes of baking. You can also confirm doneness by poking a meat thermometer in the fillets. And if it reads 145F, then the fish is ready.
- Rest the salmon out of the oven and uncovered for three minutes. Then, serve as desired.
