Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.
Brush the mustard-honey mixture generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, ensuring even coverage.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
