Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and 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, fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the mustard mixture generously over the top of each fillet, ensuring an even coating.

Step 4

Transfer the salmon to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 5

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

Step 6

Plate the salmon and serve with lemon wedges on the side. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Step 7

Enjoy your Irish-inspired roasted salmon with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed green beans for a complete meal.
