Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on, if preferred)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 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 foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, sriracha, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until the glaze is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Pat them dry with a paper towel to help the glaze adhere.
Step 4
Brush or spoon the honey-mustard glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the fillets to help them caramelize in the oven.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a slightly crispy top, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the baked salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your Simple Sweet Hot Mustard Salmon alongside a salad, rice, or steamed veggies.
