Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
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, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and generously brush the mustard mixture over the top and sides of each fillet.
Bake 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 depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Optional: Garnish the salmon with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad, for a complete low-fat meal.
