Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, grated ginger, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth glaze.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Using a spoon or brush, generously coat each salmon fillet with the ginger Dijon glaze.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Optional: For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the Ginger Dijon Salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a crisp green salad.
