Scale

Glaze Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Main Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • Fresh parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to prevent the salmon from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet skin-side down, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  4. Apply Glaze: Spoon the prepared honey mustard glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet, making sure they are well coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, healthy meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly different citrus flavor.
  • Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
  • For an extra crunchy texture, broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
  • Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
