Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb salami (whole, unsliced)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the whole salami diagonally, creating a crisscross pattern. Be careful not to cut all the way through—just cut deep enough to allow the glaze to seep into the meat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until fully combined.
Place the scored salami on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the glaze generously over the entire surface of the salami, making sure to get it into the cuts.
Bake the salami in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, basting with the glaze every 10 minutes. The salami should be fragrant and caramelized when done.
Remove the baked salami from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly along the score lines and serve warm. Enjoy as an appetizer with crackers or bread!
