Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Using a spoon or pastry brush, spread the mustard mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
Step 5
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Optional: Garnish the salmon with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 7
Serve the mustard salmon warm with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
