Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the honey Dijon mixture evenly over the top of each fillet, making sure to cover the surface generously.
Step 4
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 5
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Step 6
Serve the Honey Dijon Salmon warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
