Delicious Honey Mustard Salmon Recipe for a Healthy Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 4 fillets salmon (fresh, skin-on)
  • 1 cup honey (preferably raw)
  • 1 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.

    Taste the marinade and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed.
  3. Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  4. Bake the Salmon

    Bake the marinated salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

    Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture.
  5. Serve

    Garnish the salmon with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

    Pair with steamed vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
