Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if applicable. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, fresh dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
Brush the mustard dill sauce generously over each salmon fillet, making sure to coat the tops evenly.
Top each salmon fillet with a slice of lemon for added flavor.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the baked salmon warm with additional fresh dill and a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
