Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillet (skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Grainy mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Brush the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the grainy mustard, parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to create the herb mustard sauce.

Step 5

Spread the herb mustard sauce evenly over the top of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 6

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should read 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.

Step 7

Serve the salmon hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired.
