Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Rub each fillet with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined to make the honey mustard sauce.

Step 4

Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over the top of each salmon fillet, making sure to coat them evenly.

Step 5

Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Optional: Turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking to achieve a slightly caramelized finish on the sauce. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 8

Serve the roasted salmon immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
