Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
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
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.
Step 4
Brush the mustard-honey mixture generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet, ensuring even coverage.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
