Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Pour the honey mustard sauce over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

For best results, use fresh salmon fillets.
Adjust the honey and mustard ratio to suit your preference for sweetness and tang.
This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
