How to Make Mustard Maple Salmon

In a large resealable bag, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Add 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets to the bag.
Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for more intense flavor).
Preheat grill to medium-high heat or preheat your broiler.
Remove salmon fillets from the bag, reserving the marinade.
Lightly oil the grill grates or broiler pan with cooking spray.
Place salmon on the prepared grill or broiler pan.
Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with the reserved marinade during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking for extra flavor and glaze.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as a fresh salad and roasted sweet potatoes.
