Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Creole mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the fillets and evenly sprinkle with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the Creole mustard sauce by whisking together Creole mustard, mayonnaise, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and carefully plate each fillet.
Spoon the Creole mustard sauce generously over the top of the salmon.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
