Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, and minced garlic. This is your glaze.
  3. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Place it skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Brush the honey dijon glaze evenly over the top surface of the salmon fillet.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Sasha suggests tasting the glaze before applying it; adjust honey for more sweetness or Dijon for more tang.
  • If your salmon fillet is very thick, you might need a few extra minutes of baking time. Check for doneness around the 15-minute mark.
  • You can garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving for brightness.
