Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. Coat a shallow baking dish with cooking spray. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon in prepared baking dish.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, honey, water, lemon juice, mustard powder, and garlic powder. Remove 1/2 cup of the mustard sauce and set aside. Pour the remaining sauce over the salmon fillets in the pan. Roast the salmon, uncovered, until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

4. Stir the dill into the reserved mustard sauce. Serve one-third of the roasted salmon (four fillets, each about 4 ounces after cooking) with the dill-spiked mustard sauce spooned over the top. Refrigerate the remaining salmon up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months; thaw it completely in the refrigerator or microwave for 3 to 5 minutes on LOW before using.
