Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the salmon evenly and thoroughly.
Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Arrange salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
Apply glaze: Brush the honey mustard mixture generously over each salmon fillet, coating them evenly for maximum flavor.
Bake salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through to a moist, tender texture.
Garnish and serve: Remove salmon from oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add color and a fresh herbal note.
