Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if applicable. Drizzle the fillets with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, fresh dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.
Step 4
Brush the mustard dill sauce generously over each salmon fillet, making sure to coat the tops evenly.
Step 5
Top each salmon fillet with a slice of lemon for added flavor.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the baked salmon warm with additional fresh dill and a side of your choice, such as roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
