Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Creole mustard
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges

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

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets and evenly rub it in. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the top of the fillets.

Step 4

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 5

While the salmon is baking, prepare the Creole mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Creole mustard, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and chopped parsley until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Plate the salmon and drizzle the Creole mustard sauce generously over each fillet. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.

Step 8

Enjoy your Delicious Baked Salmon with Creole Mustard Sauce with your preferred side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
