  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

To create this mouthwatering mustard and honey glazed salmon, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Salmon fillets (4 pieces, about 6 ounces each)
  • Dijon mustard (2 tablespoons)
  • Honey (3 tablespoons)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (freshly ground, to taste)
  • Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your mustard and honey glazed salmon:

Preparing the Glaze

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and soy sauce. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
  2. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture according to your taste preferences.

Preparing the Salmon

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
  3. Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Applying the Glaze

  1. Coat Salmon: Using a brush or spoon, generously coat the salmon fillets with the mustard and honey glaze you prepared earlier. Make sure each fillet is evenly covered.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  2. Broil (Optional): For a more caramelized glaze, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on the salmon to prevent burning.

Finishing Touches

  1. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
