Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel to help the glaze adhere better.
Step 4
Divide the honey mustard glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, spreading it evenly with a brush or the back of a spoon.
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. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
For a more golden, caramelized finish, you can broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Step 8
Pair the honey mustard salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
