Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, grated ginger, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth glaze.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 4

Using a spoon or brush, generously coat each salmon fillet with the ginger Dijon glaze.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

Optional: For a caramelized finish, broil the salmon on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Ginger Dijon Salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a crisp green salad.
