Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon (finely chopped) fresh dill
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed (for greasing pan) cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high, ensuring the oven rack is about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, parsley, dill, garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add salt and black pepper to taste, then set the glaze aside.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the glaze adheres.
Step 5
Using a spoon or pastry brush, generously coat the top of each salmon fillet with the herb mustard glaze.
Step 6
Place the salmon under the broiler and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The glaze should begin to bubble and slightly caramelize.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or steamed rice.
