Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley), optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Your Sheet Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  3. Arrange Salmon Fillets: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared sheet pan, spacing them evenly apart.
  4. Brush on the Glaze: Generously brush the honey mustard glaze over the top of each salmon fillet, making sure each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Bake the Salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze begins to caramelize.
  6. Optional Broil for Extra Color: For a crispier top, broil the salmon for an additional 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Notes

  • Choose fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not remove the skin, as it crisps up during cooking and protects the flesh.
  • Use a meat thermometer to cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F for perfect doneness.
  • For deeper flavor and caramelization, brush the glaze on the salmon again halfway through baking.
  • Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking to retain juiciness.
