Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard (optional)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4–6 lemon slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Place salmon fillets on a foil-lined baking tray.
  3. In a bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spoon the sauce evenly over the salmon fillets.
  5. Add lemon slices on top if desired.
  6. Fold the foil over the salmon to create a sealed packet.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Carefully open the foil and broil for 2–3 minutes for a caramelized top if desired.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the salmon to keep it moist.
  • Dijon mustard provides the best smooth and tangy flavor.
  • Add chili flakes or paprika for a spicy kick.
  • Fresh herbs like dill or thyme enhance the flavor.
  • Foil helps lock in moisture and reduces cleanup.
