Description

Sweet and tangy glazed salmon baked or grilled to perfection — quick, healthy, and full of flavor. This honey mustard salmon recipe is an easy and nutritious dinner option that combines the sharpness of Dijon mustard with the sweetness of honey, enhanced by a touch of olive oil and lemon juice. Perfectly baked to a flaky finish in under 20 minutes, it makes for a satisfying and wholesome meal.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets

Honey Mustard Glaze

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey (or sugar-free syrup)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the salmon evenly and thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix these ingredients well until you have a smooth, well-incorporated glaze that will coat the salmon beautifully.
  3. Season and coat the salmon: Lightly season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Then, brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the top of each fillet to infuse them with flavor.
  4. Bake the salmon: Place the glazed salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Optional broiling: For a crispier top, switch the oven to broil and broil the salmon for an additional 1 to 2 minutes at the end of baking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Serve warm, pairing with your choice of sides like steamed vegetables or rice for a balanced meal.

Notes

  • For a crisp top, broil the salmon for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • You can substitute honey with sugar-free syrup to reduce sugar content.
  • Ensure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste preferences.
