Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the mustard mixture generously over the top of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.
Transfer the salmon to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate the salmon and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Irish-inspired roasted salmon with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
