Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If your salmon is not pre-portioned, cut the salmon into 4 equal portions (approximately 6 oz or 170g each).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the salmon fillets.
- Place the salmon fillets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with cooking spray.
- Spoon the honey mustard mixture over each salmon fillet, spreading it evenly to ensure each piece is well coated.
- Place the baking sheet with the salmon into the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
- Carefully remove the salmon from the oven.
- Plate the salmon fillets and optionally garnish with additional lemon slices or fresh herbs.
- Serve your Honey Mustard Baked Salmon with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or steamed rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon juice.: Using fresh lemon juice instead of bottled gives the dish a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- Choose high-quality salmon.: Opt for wild-caught salmon if possible. It typically has a more robust flavor and better texture than farm-raised.
- Don't overcook the salmon.: Salmon cooks quickly; check for doneness around the 12-15 minute mark to ensure it remains tender and moist.
- Line the baking sheet.: Use parchment paper or aluminum foil to line your baking sheet. This makes for easy cleanup and prevents the salmon from sticking.
- Add herbs for extra flavor.: Sprinkle some fresh chopped dill or parsley over the salmon before serving for an additional burst of flavor.
Honey mustard baked salmon is an excellent dish for both casual dinners and special occasions. Its rich flavors and simple preparation make it a go-to recipe for anyone looking to enjoy a healthy and tasty meal. Serve it with your favorite sides, and relish the delightful combination of sweet, tangy, and savory.
