🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon the honey-mustard glaze generously over each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

5. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

6. Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley and serve with optional lemon wedges on the side.
