HONEY MUSTARD BAKED SALMON

By Clarabell

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds salmon fillets
• 3 T honey mustard (1 1.2 T honey plus 1 1/2 T Dijon mustard)
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 3 t)
• 3 T olive oil (divided 2T and 1T)
• 1 T lemon juice
• 1 T chopped fresh dill
• Pinch of salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. In small bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, garlic, 2 T olive oil, lemon juice, dill and salt.
3. Line arresting pan with aluminum foil. Brush the salmon fillets on both sides with olive oil. Place fillets skin side down (if your fillets have skin-on) on the foil-lined pan. Use a basting brush to coat the top side of the fillets with the honey mustard mixture
4. Place in oven and bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes, until just barely cooked through (please don't overcook salmon). It's okay if the salmon is still a little rare in the center, when you remove it from the oven, the residue heat will cook it through.
