Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 pieces Salmon filets
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic cloves. Add them to the bowl.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the mixture.
Season the marinade with salt and black pepper, then mix well to combine.
Place the salmon filets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the filets are well coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best results.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Remove the salmon filets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the remaining marinade.
Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes, or until the filets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
Serve the salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired, and enjoy!
