Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler in your oven and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, then season both sides evenly with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and yogurt until well combined. Set the mustard dill sauce aside.
Broil the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon cooks, taste the mustard dill sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding a pinch of salt, a dash of lemon juice, or more dill.
Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to serving plates.
Spoon the mustard dill sauce generously over the salmon fillets or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or roasted potatoes.
