Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Glaze

  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Lemon slices
  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)

Optional Vegetables

  • Asparagus, cherry tomatoes, or green beans (amount as desired)
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth to create the glaze that will infuse the salmon with sweet and tangy flavor.
  2. Preheat and Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Coat the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared pan. Brush each fillet generously with the honey mustard glaze, making sure to cover every corner for maximum flavor.
  4. Add Optional Veggies: If using vegetables, arrange them evenly around the salmon on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the glaze looks caramelized but not burnt.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven and top with fresh lemon slices or chopped herbs if desired. Serve immediately for a warm and inviting meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed salmon for best results.
  • Do not overbake to avoid drying out the fish.
  • Choose fillets with uniform thickness for even cooking.
  • Brush half the glaze before baking and the rest immediately after baking for extra flavor depth.
  • Let the salmon rest a few minutes after baking to retain juices.
