Honey Mustard Baked Salmon

Honey Mustard Baked Salmon Recipe

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

If you don't have already prepared honey mustard, just combine equal amounts of honey and Dijon mustard.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 TO 2 POUNDS (680 TO 900G) SALMON FILLETS

3 TBSP HONEY MUSTARD (1 1/2 TBSP HONEY PLUS 1 1/2 TBSP DIJON MUSTARD)

3 CLOVES GARLIC, MINCED (ABOUT 3 TEASPOONS)

3 TBSP OLIVE OIL (DIVIDED 2 T AND 1 T)

1 TBSP LEMON JUICE

1 TBSP CHOPPED FRESH DILL

PINCH OF SALT

METHOD

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C).

2 In a small bowl, whisk together the honey mustard, garlic, 2 Tbsp of olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and salt.

3 Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Brush the salmon fillets on both sides with olive oil. Place fillets skin-side down (if your fillets have skin-on) on the foil-lined pan. Use a basting brush to coat the top side of the fillets with the honey mustard mixture.

 

4 Place in oven and bake at 400°F (205°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, until just barely cooked through (please don't overcook salmon!). It's okay if the salmon is still a little rare in the center, when you remove it from the oven, the residual heat will cook it through.
