Steps to Make Honey Mustard Salmon

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your salmon cooks evenly and gets that deliciously crispy edge.
Prepare the Salmon: Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Place the salmon fillets on the sheet and season them with salt and pepper to taste.
Make the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lemon juice. This creates a harmonious blend of sweet, tangy, and savory flavors – a true dance of tastes!
Glaze the Salmon: Generously brush the honey mustard mixture over the salmon fillets. Make sure to cover them well for the best flavor.
Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fillets, so keep an eye on it! You can rosemary for the added aroma.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the oven Once the salmon is cooked. Garnish with fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness.
Enjoy! Serve this delectable honey mustard salmon with a side you choose – rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad. It’s a versatile dish that pairs well with many sides.
