Mustard-Maple Roasted Salmon
With notes of red cherry and raspberry, silky tannins and a touch of earthiness, this Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with the herbaceous, slightly sweet and tangy flavors of this salmon entrée.
Ingredients:
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 Tbsp light mayonnaise
• 2 tsp pure maple syrup
• Four 5-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Mix together the mustard, 1 Tbsp of the cilantro, the mayonnaise and maple syrup in a bowl. Put the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle with ¼ tsp each salt and pepper. Spread some of the mustard mixture evenly over each fillet.
3. Bake until just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 Tbsp cilantro and serve.
