If I’ve said it once, I’ve probably said it a zillion times, but I love salmon. I’ve used it to make all kinds of meals, and I try to cook it at least twice a month, if not more. Because we love it so much and have it so often, I am continually looking for new ways to prepare it. That said, one of my favorite ways to eat it, is with a yummy sauce and baked in the oven.

Full disclosure, I like a yummy sauce with pretty much everything, so…no suprise there. Also, another thing I’ve probably said a zillion times. Ha. But this salmon, slathered with a delicious sauce of honey, dijon, and garlic then baked to flaky perfection is definitely at the top of my list of favorites. Can you blame me? Those flavors are to die for.

What you need to make Baked Salmon with Honey Dijon & Garlic:

Salmon Fillets – I use skin-on
Garlic – because, everything needs garlic
Parsley – for a little flavor and pretty green color
Dijon mustard – the tangy deliciousness we all love
Honey – for sweetness to balance out that tangy Dijon
Lemon juice
Salt
Olive oil

Just a few ingredients that you likely already have on hand, but this baked salmon packs a big punch of flavor!

1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, line a baking sheet with foil, and set aside.
2.) In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, parsley, honey, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil, until well-combined.
3.) Place the salmon pieces, skin-side down if the skin is still on them, onto the prepared baking sheet and generously brush the sauce on top of each piece, using a pastry brush if you have one.
4.) Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

And voilĂ , you have one delicious meal to serve yourself, your friends, and your family! And guess what? Unless they just hate salmon (who does that?!?!), they are going to love it!

Welcome!
