Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the honey Dijon mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, making sure to cover the surface generously.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve the Honey Dijon Salmon warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
