Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel to help the glaze adhere better.
Divide the honey mustard glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, spreading it evenly with a brush or the back of a spoon.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
For a more golden, caramelized finish, you can broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Pair the honey mustard salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
