Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 large, minced garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (optional for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if the skin is still attached.
Step 4
Using a spoon or pastry brush, generously coat the top of each salmon fillet with the honey mustard sauce. Reserve a small amount of sauce for serving, if desired.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. If using, sprinkle the salmon with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 7
Serve warm with the reserved sauce on the side, lemon wedges for squeezing, and your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
