- 1 2-pound piece of boneless salmon (cut from the wide end of the fish)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup rum
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Set the fish, skin side down, in a plastic container or shallow baking dish large enough to hold it flat.
- In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, rum, and mustard. Rub the fish all over with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, turning once or twice.
- Set the oven at 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set the salmon on the baking sheet skin side down.
- Roast the salmon for 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with the tip of a knife. Remove from the oven and slide onto a platter to serve.
