Honey Mustard Salmon
Flaky salmon fillets coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze—baked to perfection in under 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets approx. 150–180g each
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1½ tbsp honey
- 1 garlic clove finely grated or minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley and lemon wedges to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. I use a non-stick baking tray like this with parchment...makes cleanup a breeze.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, honey, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. You can grate the garlic or use a garlic press like this to make things quicker.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared tray, skin-side down. Spoon the honey mustard mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. A flexible fish spatula like this makes lifting the fillets cleanly off the tray super easy.
- Serve with chopped parsley, lemon wedges, and your favourite side dish—roasted veg, salad, or fluffy couscous work brilliantly.
