Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Salmon fillets
  • Butter
  • Honey
  • Dijon mustard
  • Garlic minced
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh parsley optional
  • Lemon wedges optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare Honey Mustard Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic until well combined.
  3. Season Salmon: Pat dry the salmon fillets and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Apply Sauce: Generously spoon the honey mustard mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 11–14 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky, pink, and opaque.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • For extra caramelization, broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • If using frozen salmon, thaw completely and pat dry before baking.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey, depending on your preference.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
