For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the maple Dijon mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. If you don't have an oven-proof sauté pan, you can transfer the salmon to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper after searing. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and a squeeze of lemon for an elegant presentation. Serve with roasted asparagus or a side of quinoa for a complete and healthy meal.

03
StepSeason salmon fillets with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

06
StepContinue cooking until the bottom is browned, about 3 minutes more. (3 minutes)
07
StepTransfer the sauté pan to the preheated oven and bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. (8 minutes)
