Description

This Honey Mustard Glazed Salmon recipe features succulent salmon fillets coated with a tangy and sweet honey mustard glaze infused with garlic and fresh lemon juice. Oven-baked to perfection, the salmon develops caramelized edges and tender flakes, making it a delightful and healthy main dish perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 4 pieces salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on preferred

Glaze

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lemon, juiced

Other

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Mince the garlic cloves finely to be used in the glaze.
  2. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and freshly squeezed lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a balanced sweet and tangy glaze.
  3. Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the salmon pieces, then season them with salt and black pepper to taste. Spoon the honey mustard glaze generously over each fillet, coating them evenly to ensure flavorful browning.
  4. Bake the salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the edges become caramelized and slightly golden, indicating the glaze has set perfectly.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or dill for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the salmon at its best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Skin-on salmon helps retain moisture and adds extra flavor during baking.
  • Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for a brighter taste.
  • Adjust honey quantity for desired sweetness level.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives work well for garnish.
  • Check salmon frequently after 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
