Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
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.
In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined to make the honey mustard sauce.
Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over the top of each salmon fillet, making sure to coat them evenly.
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.
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.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the roasted salmon immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
