How to Make Honey Mustard Salmon
Step #1: Heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a rimmed baking sheet pan with aluminum foil. Lightly spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray and place your salmon fillets on the foil. If you are using skinned salmon, be sure to put the skin side down.
Step #2: Next, add all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together until combined.
Step #3: Then, spoon half the honey mustard sauce over the top of the salmon pieces until they are all coated well. Make sure that the spoon doesn’t touch the salmon as we will be using some of the sauce for after cooking as well – or if you prefer, you can divide the sauce into two bowls and use one for while cooking and another for after cooking.
Step #4: Next, cover the top of the salmon with another sheet of aluminum foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is almost cooked through.
Step #5: Then, take the salmon out of the oven, remove the top sheet of aluminum foil and turn your oven to broil on LOW.
Step #6: Add a small amount of remaining sauce on top of the salmon pieces and broil in your oven, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes until it has reached your desired doneness.
Step #7: Finally pour the remaining sauce over the top of the salmon along with the chopped parsley then serve and enjoy!
FAQs
Of course! Dijon mustard is a great substitute for your honey-mustard glaze if you don’t have regular mustard. I’ve made this recipe with both but prefer the bold taste of regular mustard compared to Dijon.
I would recommend serving this recipe alongside some rice, an arugula salad, or even fresh vegetables.
