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:
