Ingredients
- 1 pound Salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Spread the mustard and brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillet using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.
Step 7
Serve the salmon warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
