📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together the grainy mustard, parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create the herb mustard sauce.

5. Spread the herb mustard sauce evenly over the top of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.

6. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.

7. Serve the salmon hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.
