Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets (about 6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the mustard marinade generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Top each fillet with a thin slice of lemon for added flavor and presentation.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary slightly based on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
