- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 3 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a sheet pan with foil. In a small saucepan heat maple syrup, crushed red pepper and garlic over medium heat. Cook until fragrant and bubbling, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl, then whisk in mustard, lemon juice and zest, thyme leaves and salt. While whisking, slowly stream in the olive oil until an emulsified sauce forms.
Step 2
Lay the salmon across the center of the pan. Drizzle vinaigrette over the salmon and season with more salt.
Step 3
Place in the oven and cook until golden and fish is cooked, 15-20 minutes. Garnish with thyme leaves and chives, then serve.
